Identify and explain the stages of the budgetary process in Texas.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. The first part of the budgetary process is the development of a budget plan by the Legislative Budget Board.
2. At the beginning of the legislative session, the comptroller delivers the Biennial Revenue Estimate to the legislature.
3. The LBB plan is then introduced in both the house and senate. Working from this blueprint, the Appropriations Committee in the house and the Finance Committee in the senate craft spending bills.
4. Individual lawmakers have the opportunity to affect spending, both through these committees and through floor debate.
5. The senate and house will inevitably have some different spending priorities, so the final appropriations bill will emerge from conference committee.
6. Even after the legislature approves the conference bill, the governor can veto individual line items from the budget.
