An Act to Require All State Agencies to Provide a Zero-based Budget Once Every 10 Years
This bill requires all state agencies in Maine to use a zero-based budget process at least once every 10 years, starting with the 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 fiscal years. Zero-based budgeting means agencies must justify all expenses from scratch, without considering past budgets. The Department of Administrative and Financial Services must also propose legislation by January 2026 to set up this new budgeting system, including how agencies will budget in the years they are not doing a zero-based budget.
