North Carolina S800 mandates zero-based budgeting for state agencies on a rotating basis.
North Carolina S800 requires state agencies to use zero-based budgeting, starting in 2026. This approach involves preparing budget plans that begin with a zero dollar amount and justify funding needs. The bill outlines a schedule for which agencies must submit these plans, with certain divisions and departments required in even-numbered years. The Office of State Budget and Management will provide technical assistance and review the plans. Zero-based budgeting aims to achieve the most cost-effective performance of state agencies by focusing on the necessity of each activity.
