1 8/22/2007 Research Memo 07 RM 040R Date: August 22, 2007 Author: Re: Alex N. Kean, Associate Research Analyst Zero-Based Budgeting Practices QUESTIONS: 1. Identify states that are subject to zero-based budgeting. (a) Identify successes and failures of zero-based budgeting. ANSWERS: 1. According to NCSL, as of June 2006, no states exclusively use a zero-based budgeting 1 (ZBB) approach to prepare a budget. (See Attachment A.) Although no states use ZBB as the exclusive approach to building a budget, multiple states require departments to use ZBB principles to examine and prioritize their budget. In fact, according to NCSL, at least seven states have modified ZBB requirements including the border states of Colorado and Nebraska. Five sample states' ZBB requirements and actions are discussed below: Colorado, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Ohio. For example, Colorado Revised Statues Annotated (Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann.) (2006) provides for the Colorado Joint Budget Committee to implement "an ongoing review procedure of existing programs based on zero-based budgeting, as a part of its existing review of executive, judicial, and legislative budget requests..." However, according to Office of State Planning and Budgeting (OSPB) staff the last review was done in Although not required, the Colorado Division of Wildlife continues to request appropriations using ZBB, according to Colorado Budget staff. (See Attachment B.) Revised Statutes of Nebraska (Neb. Rev. Stat.) grants the Budget Division of the Department of Administration the duty of preparing the executive budget. The current system allows agencies to build upon their historical baseline of expenditures instead of preparing the request from zero; however, it does provide the administrator the power to request "any additional information deemed appropriate." According to the Nebraska Department of Administration Budget Division staff, the Department is considering implementing a new system more in-line with ZBB principles starting with the biennium. (See Attachment C.) Since 2001, Wisconsin has used a variation of ZBB. According to the Wisconsin Legislative Council every state agency, including the Legislature and the Courts, is required to periodically once every third biennium - submit a base budget review report. The report must include a description of each programmatic activity of 1 Zero-Based Budgeting as defined by the National Association of State Budget Officers in 1979: "... a method which formally considers reduced levels of expenditure rather than merely increases above current expenditure levels. The distinctive purpose of ZBB is to determine whether an activity warrants continuation at its current level or at a different level, or should be terminated. The ZBB format provides for the submission of budget requests of alternative funding levels, and for the priority ranking of activities in successively increasing levels of funding, starting from a level significantly below the current level." For the purposes of this memo LSO has applied the same definition. WYOMING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE OFFICE 213 State Capitol Cheyenne, Wyoming TELEPHONE (307) FAX (307) lso@state.wy.us WEBSITE
2 PAGE 2 OF 3 the agency and provide for each activity an accounting, by fund source, of expenditures for the prior three fiscal years and for the last two quarters of each of the prior three fiscal years. The State of Oklahoma enacted legislation in 2003 requiring all governmental entities to report to the Director of State Finance and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Legislative Oversight Committee on State Budget Performance (established under Okla. Stat. tit (2007) an itemized request for the amount of funding needed for the next fiscal year. The information is reported on official forms which clearly designate the information needed resulting in uniform reports. The statute includes, but is not limited to, ten pieces of required information. The first of the ten required pieces of information is a budget analysis of existing and proposed programs utilizing "zero-based budgeting techniques." Another piece of required information is a description of the groups of people served by each program in the agency as well as a ranking of these programs by priority. Actual program expenditures for the current fiscal year and prior fiscal years and the number of personnel required to accomplish each program are also required. (Okla. Stat. tit (2007)) (See Attachment D.) The most recent state to approve modified ZBB requirements is Ohio. The Ohio legislation, enacted in June of 2006, requires agencies to clearly prioritize all programs and explain what funding will support within a particular program or activity. Additionally, the Ohio Office of Budget and Management requires each agency to discuss the impact of eliminating each program. Agencies are asked to describe, at a program level, what the State is buying with taxpayer resources. However, it should be noted that at the time of writing this memo no budgets have been approved using these requirements. 1(a). According to NCSL research, several states reported unsatisfactory results or limited success when using ZBB while others simply report mixed results. One state, Rhode Island, reported generally favorable results with ZBB. NCSL has collected experiences from several states that have implemented ZBB. In addition to the specific experiences provided below, a number of states have reported that their executive branch agencies had difficulties with zero-base budgeting. NCSL's summary states: Idaho used zero-base budgeting for approximately 75 percent of the budgets, with unsatisfactory results. State agencies had an inadequate understanding of the process and did not competently comply with the zero-base budgeting requirements, probably due to a lack of sufficient time for training in technical assistance on the part of the central budget staff. However, Idaho reported that 15 percent of the results were useful, primarily because of the internal priority setting at the program level, even though there was no substantial difference in the result in budget amount for the program. In 10 percent of the cases, zerobase review resulted in substantial and significantly different approaches to the operation of a program and reduced the required budget. New Jersey reported that its experience with zero-base budgeting was mixed. It encountered problems in the following areas: agency and staff resistance to the system, lack of understanding of the basic concepts, and quality of some of the information submitted. On the positive side, the process aided decision makers in evaluating competing demands. New Mexico abandoned zero-base budgeting. It first attempted the "start from scratch" approach on 10 agencies in They reported a number of lessons learned: It was not reasonable to expect an agency to routinely furnish information that might result in a lower appropriation, no matter what the justification might be. That as long as the state's fiscal outlook was optimistic, there was little impetus to cut budgets or eliminate marginal programs. A budgeting system designed to locate duplication and reduce budgets is out of phase in a period of increasing revenues. The best committee analyses by the Legislature were often of agencies making the least effort in their budget presentation. Agencies often failed to address the critical issues of the WYOMING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE OFFICE 213 State Capitol Cheyenne, Wyoming TELEPHONE (307) FAX (307) lso@state.wy.us WEBSITE
3 PAGE 3 OF 3 program, so the legislative finance committee and staff attempted to define and research the issues. An independent research staff is essential. Improvements to the New Mexico state government occasioned by zero-base budgeting were neither as great as originally anticipated nor as minimal as detractors claimed. The concept that a previous year's funding level does not in itself justify future funding was not totally accepted. And several years of accelerating increases in tax revenues did not encourage critical analysis of current spending levels. Rhode Island reported a generally favorable result from its efforts at zero-base budgeting, which was at least partially responsible for: the elimination of 1,300 positions from the state roster; maintaining a reduced unemployment level for 18 months; and a shifting of priorities within existing resources. In addition to these state specific experiences, NCSL has created a list of more general lessons learned from past ZBB experiences. They include: Agency preparation of two budget documents (one for the executive and one for the Legislature) should be avoided if possible. The part-time nature of most legislatures as well as turnover in finance committees can frustrate efforts at educating lawmakers in the need for budget reform. Even the most conscientious members of legislative committees have little time to understand the subtleties of a new budgeting system under the press of business. Competent budget presentation raises more issues than are answered. It is not reasonable to expect a set of forms to enable an agency to analyze itself to the satisfaction of a critical analyst. Significant time must be reserved for independent analysis. Zero-base budgeting will not deter agencies from including unjustified cost increases in decision package costing. The Legislature still has to scrutinize these decision packages in order to determine cost effectiveness. Historic cost and performance data are seldom available by the decision unit. The idea of a reduced level of funding (in New Mexico the 70 percent level) for the initial funding level is threatening to agency personnel. Agencies may attempt to manipulate priority rankings by ranking popular items lower than items that otherwise would have little chance of funding. This necessitates the alteration of priorities during legislative budget review and leads to agency complaints that their priorities are ignored. Budget preparation time needs to be substantially lengthened during the implementation of a new system. Legislators and legislative staff may have to spend many more hours than they have done in the past. Agencies operating on several sources of earmarked funds, usually federal grants, find it difficult to rank program priorities. Federal grants requiring little or no state participation are difficult to refuse, not matter what their purpose or justification. Zero-base budgeting makes the decision process more explicit and open to scrutiny. Some agencies see this openness as a threat to the manager's flexibility; others view it as a managerial tool.

Colorado--The General Assembly can require departments to submit zero-based budget requests. The General Assembly also has entered into performance-based memoranda of understanding with certain departments or agencies. Connecticut--Although the budget is program-based and program measures are displayed in both the governor's document and the Legislative Budget Report, much of the work on the budget is more traditional (major object, line item) than program-based. Delaware--Starts with a zero-based budget, but combines this with performance and traditional approaches. Florida--The state has enacted requirements for performance-based budgeting that are being phased-in. Current practice is more traditional. Illinois--The budget is traditional with some aspects of program-based. Indiana--Budget instructions require some productivity data. Iowa--The budget is a combination as required by code. Each budget is modified zero-based (75 percent) completed for each program level. Performance measures are to be included at each level. Kansas--Although still largely based on traditional methods, performance measures are requested of agencies and reviewed by the governor and Legislature in formulating the budget. Louisiana--Act 1465 of 1997 mandates performance budgeting. Maine--Current statutory language calls for state government to fully implement performance budgeting for the biennium. Maryland--The budget is organized into programs. Some attention is paid to performance measures, with a trend toward increased reliance on them. Massachusetts--The legislative budget incorporates program-based budgeting and traditional budgetary analysis methods. A comprehensive overview of each agency's count of full-time employees, programs and their spending levels, and administrative spending is prepared by the governor's Budget Bureau and the House and Senate Ways and Means Committee budget staff. Michigan--The budget is performance-based, although appropriation bills contain objects of expenditure in some instances.
7 Minnesota--The budget is mostly traditional, but partly program-based. The state is attempting to bring performance measures into consideration. Nebraska--The appropriation structure is program-based. Requests are built in a traditional and modified zero-based structure. Nevada--The traditional structure is moving toward a performance-based structure. New Jersey--The state has a program-based budget, but it is constructed and displayed by department. Although there are several summary pages showing program allocations across organizational lines, most of the budget is organizationally organized. Also, the budget still displays allocation by spending object (e.g., salaries, materials and supplies, etc.) as well as by program. North Carolina--In 1997, the governor submitted a performance-based budget that the General Assembly did not adopt. Oklahoma--The state uses incremental budgeting. However, during the last several years the state has begun to move toward program-based budgeting, with mixed results. Ohio---The budget and management office uses a modified zero-base budgeting approach. The legislature uses line items based on program series in the executive budget proposal. Oregon--Budgeting is predominantly traditional, but also has elements of performance-based (application of benchmarks), program-based (subagency level or program identification) and zerobased (includes discussion of 10 percent to 20 percent reduction packages). South Carolina--The House Ways and Means Committee is placing greater emphasis on agency accountability reports for FY in developing budget recommendations for FY Tennessee --Defined by statute, budgeting is zero-based. However, the state practices a continuation of required programs plus essential improvements. Vermont--A combination of traditional and performance-based budgeting is used. Virginia--Program budgets organize the Appropriation Act, and performance measures are coming into use as a way to examine agency activities. Most executive budgets, however, begin with some calculation of a base, i.e., the approximate amounts required to continue current activities and caseloads. West Virginia--The starting point in considering the request for the next fiscal year is the current level of funding and the additional money necessary to maintain the current level after factoring in inflation, etc. Performance measures are agency or department matters, and programs are ranked within agencies or departments in order of importance. There is little discussion in legislative hearings about these matters. The emphasis is on current levels and whether funds are available to enhance programs or add projects or programs. Northern Mariana Islands --Traditional budgeting is used when information on zero-based budgeting is not submitted by the departments.
