Require the use of zero-based budgeting every ten years

Summary

The bill requires the governor and the Director of Budget and Management to prepare the state and transportation budgets using zero‑based budgeting, meaning every expense must be justified from scratch. At least one‑third of state agencies—selected each even‑numbered year by the finance committee chairs—must submit detailed estimates and performance reports, and the director can approve or reject those requests. The goal is to increase transparency and fiscal oversight of Ohio’s spending.
