State budget processes refer to various budgeting activities and stages in the development of a state’s budget, including the budget cycle, budget requirements, budgeting tools, the budget document, and monitoring the budget. Technical and administrative advancements in the budget process can redirect spending to more effective programs and ultimately lead to better service delivery. In the coming years, changes to state budget processes will likely reflect a growing need to establish clear linkages between funding levels and program results.
