H142

Implement Zero-Based Budgeting

Introduced·2/17/25

North Carolina H142 mandates zero-based budgeting for state agencies starting in fiscal year 2031-2033.

North Carolina H142 requires the implementation of zero-based budgeting for state agencies starting in the 2031-2033 fiscal biennium. This approach mandates that each state agency develop its budget requests based on a zero dollar amount, without reflecting prior appropriations. The Governor is tasked with identifying which agencies will implement this budgeting method each fiscal year, beginning with those in the executive branch. The bill also requires agencies to provide a detailed narrative explaining their tasks, goals, and objectives, along with data supporting their budget requests.
