BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 126.02 and 126.022 be amended and | 4 |

such estimates as are required under section 126.022 of the | 11 |
Revised Code, and, as applicable, the performance data required to | 12 |
be submitted by state agencies by division (A) of section 126.18 | 13 |
of the Revised Code. The budget estimates for each state agency | 14 |
for which direct appropriations are proposed shall include the | 15 |
following details: | 16 |
(A) Estimates of the operating budget; | 17 |
(B) Estimates of the subsidy appropriations necessary, | 18 |
delineated by a distinct subsidy program; | 19 |
(C) Estimates for special purposes, delineated by a distinct | 20 |
special purpose program; | 21 |
(D) Estimates of appropriations necessary from each fund in | 22 |
reasonable detail to allow for adequate planning and oversight of | 23 |
programs and activities. | 24 |
In the preparation of state revenue and expenditure | 25 |
estimates, the director of budget and management shall, not later | 26 |
than the fifteenth day of September in the year preceding the | 27 |
first regular session of the general assembly, distribute to all | 28 |
affected state agencies the forms necessary for the preparation of | 29 |
budget requests, which shall be in the form prescribed by the | 30 |
director in consultation with the legislative service commission | 31 |
to procure information concerning the revenues and expenditures | 32 |
for the preceding and current bienniums, an estimate of the | 33 |
revenues and expenditures of the current fiscal year, and an | 34 |
estimate of the revenues and proposed expenditures for the | 35 |
respective agencies for the two succeeding fiscal years for which | 36 |
appropriations have to be made, and, as applicable, the | 37 |
performance data required by division (A) of section 126.18 of the | 38 |
Revised Code. Each such agency shall, not later than the first day | 39 |
of November, file with the director its estimate of revenues and | 40 |
proposed expenditures for the succeeding biennium
and, where | 41 |
required by section 126.18 of the Revised Code, a comprehensive | 42 |
and integrated statement of agency missions and outcome and | 43 |
performance measures. | 44 |
Each such agency shall, not later than the first day of | 45 |
December, file with the chairperson of the finance committees of | 46 |
the senate and house of representatives and the legislative | 47 |
service commission a duplicate copy of such budget request. | 48 |
The budget request shall be accompanied by a statement in | 49 |
writing giving facts and explanation of reasons for the items | 50 |
requested. The director and the legislative service commission may | 51 |
make further inquiry and investigation as to any item desired. The | 52 |
director may approve, disapprove, or alter the requests, excepting | 53 |
those for the legislative and judicial branches of the state. The | 54 |
requests as revised by the director constitute the state budget | 55 |
estimates of revenues and expenditures which the director is | 56 |
required to submit to the governor. | 57 |
The director shall determine a method to incorporate the | 58 |
principles of zero-based budgeting into the forms prescribed in | 59 |
this section. | 60 |
Sec. 126.022. Not later than four weeks after the general | 61 |
assembly convenes in each even-numbered year, the director of | 62 |
budget and management shall prepare and recommend to the general | 63 |
assembly, subject to the concurrence of the governor, estimates of | 64 |
revenues from, or derived from, payments to the state under the | 65 |
tobacco master settlement agreement and, expenditures of such | 66 |
revenues for the biennium beginning on the following first day of | 67 |
July, and, as applicable, the performance data required by | 68 |
division (A) of section 126.18 of the Revised Code. Each state | 69 |

prescribes, and, where required by section 126.18 of the Revised | 73 |
Code, a comprehensive and integrated statement of agency missions | 74 |
and outcome and performance measures. | 75 |
Sec. 126.18. (A) Except for the offices of the attorney | 76 |
general, auditor of state, governor, secretary of state, and | 77 |

activities of the agency in meeting program goals and objectives. | 83 |
Data reported shall include indicators of output, efficiency, | 84 |
outcomes, and other measures relevant to each program and | 85 |
activity. The agency shall also include historical data needed for | 86 |
an understanding of major trends and shall set targets for future | 87 |
performance where feasible and appropriate. All such data shall be | 88 |
presented in a manner that serves to assist legislative review of | 89 |
and decision making concerning the programs and activities of the | 90 |
agency. | 91 |
