What’s in it

This bill requires the establishment of the state percent of growth and categorical state percent of growth for two consecutive budget years during the first regular session of the general assembly. The bill also specifies that after enactment of the state percent of growth and the categorical state percent of growth for the second budget year during the first regular session, the general assembly may increase but shall not decrease either the state percent of growth or the categorical state percent of growth for that budget year. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
