Budgeting Accountability and Transparency

Introduced·4/30/26

North Carolina H1153 enhances budget transparency by requiring public participation and removing confidentiality for budget-related communications.

North Carolina H1153 mandates public participation in the budget process by requiring at least three nonvoting committee meetings, one public hearing, and a week-long public comment period for the Current Operations Appropriations Act. It also makes communications related to budget provisions or funds between legislative employees and legislators public records. The bill allocates $250,000 for maintaining a public comment portal and related expenses.
