6305     BUDGET POLICY 
(Revised 2/98)

The Governor’s Budget policy provides guidance for the formulation of the budget.  Such guidance may provide specific instructions for the revenue and expenditure programs and for balancing the budget.  The Governor may decide to disseminate budget policy through a formal announcement, through the Agency Secretaries, when applicable, or by instructions issued by DOF.

Budget policy may also be set forth in the control sections of the current Budget Act.  As an example, budgeting for continuance of administratively established positions is regulated by Section 31.
