Budget Hearing recordings on-demand. Budget Hearing presentations can be accessed in the recording description area.

After hearing from departments and agencies, the Governor prepares the fiscal proposal and presents it to the General Assembly by February 1, or March 1 for the first year of a governor's term, unless otherwise authorized by the General Assembly.

The General Assembly reviews and holds public hearings on the budget recommendations, including amendments introduced during the legislative session, with the goal of passing a balanced budget before the fiscal year begins on July 1 of each year.
