State appellate courts and judicial branch agencies face the possibility of having to live with their already pared-down budgets for another two years, or they could sustain further cuts of up to 10 percent.
In a June 4 memorandum, the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) and the Governor’s Office of Budget, Planning and Policy instructed state agencies to submit baseline appropriations requests for no more than they received for the current biennium. The memorandum also directed agencies to submit supplemental schedules detailing how they would reduce their budgets by an additional 10 percent.
