This bill requires the Director of the Division of Budget and
Planning to develop and implement a performance-based budgeting
system that establishes goals and objectives, provides detailed
measures of program and fund performance against attainment of
planned goals, and provides for program evaluation.  The Governor
may consider outcome measures used for each program and fund as
compared with the attainment of the established goals of the
program and fund over the preceding three fiscal years in
preparing budget recommendations to the General Assembly.  The
General Assembly is to consider the three preceding fiscal years'
outcome measures and attainment of goals and objectives for each
program and fund in approving appropriation levels for each
program and fund.

The Governor's budget recommendations, which are annually
submitted to the General Assembly, are to include all outcome
measures and attainment of established goals and objectives of
each program and fund for the preceding three fiscal years, the
current fiscal year, and the following two fiscal years; the most
recent reports submitted by the State Auditor's Office; and any
evaluations done by the Oversight Division of the Committee on
Legislative Research.

Beginning January 1, 2005, the bill requires a performance-based
budgeting review of each department and agency at least once
every five years.  The chairpersons of the House Budget Committee
and the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Director of the
Division of Budget and Planning are required to review the
outcome measures used for programs and funds within the
department, division, or agency being reviewed.
