Legislative Budgetary Control Council

The Legislative Budgetary Control Council establishes rules to govern the administration and expenditure of all legislative branch funds. The council reviews budgetary requests for the two houses and all legislative agencies and must approve them before they are included in the legislative appropriation bill. It sets requirements for financial statements and accounting systems and for deposits and transfers of funds. Legislative facilities management is another council responsibility. The council is composed of the Senate President and President Pro Tempore; the House Speaker and Speaker Pro Tempore; the chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee, House Appropriations Committee, Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee, and House and Governmental Affairs Committee; one member of the House and Governmental Affairs Committee and one member of the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee appointed by the respective chairman; and, ex officio but nonvoting, the House Clerk and Senate Secretary.
