§55. Legislative summary of appropriations
A. The legislative fiscal office shall prepare a legislative summary of appropriations which shall describe the changes, by program, which occurred from the proposals submitted by the governor in the executive budget and for revenue raising bills through the enactment of the various appropriation and revenue acts.
B. This summary shall be completed not later than thirty days after the General Appropriation Bill becomes an act and shall be submitted to the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget for its review and approval. Should the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget determine that conditions dealing with appropriations have changed during the course of the fiscal year sufficiently to warrant revision, the summary shall be amended to incorporate the changes.
C. A copy of the summary and any revisions shall be distributed to each member of the legislature and the governor, and a reasonable supply shall be provided for public distribution.
