Budget background
- See also: Kansas state budget and finances
The Kansas state fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. On October 1 all of the state's agencies submit their budget requests to the governor and the legislature. Kansas has 20 state agencies that operate on a biennial system but are authorized to file budget adjustment requests every other year. The governor presents the proposed budget to both the House and the Senate for consideration. From February through April state officials deliberate on the proposed budget. By early June the governor evaluates any and all changes before a final decision is approved.[2]
The fiscal year 2009 budget totaled $13.5 billion, a $334.2 million or a 2.5 percent increase from fiscal year 2008. The general fund for fiscal year 2009 totaled $6.4 billion, a $266.8 million or 4.3 percent increase from fiscal year 2008.[2]
