                                     Committee Report (Unamended)
BACKGROUND

During the 73rd Legislature, S.B. 1332 directed the Legislative
Budget Board to "examine methods to identify and quantify the
spending interrelationships between functional areas, agencies,
goals, objectives, and strategies."

In response to S.B. 1332, the board staff reviewed the concept of
spending interrelationships as it relates to Texas' efforts to
implement strategic planning and performance budgeting on a state
level, and after this review, the board concluded that investment
budgeting is the next logical step for Texas to take in the
evolutionary development of its Strategic Planning and Performance
Budgeting System.

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.B. 1416 requires the Legislative Budget Board to
develop a list of categories for state fiscal data by service type
and population served and to code the data by each category.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not grant any
additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or
agency.
