BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That sections 126.02 and 126.022 be amended and	4
section 126.18 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:	5

Sec. 126.02.  The director of budget and management shall	6
prepare and submit to the governor, biennially, not later than the	7
first day of January preceding the convening of the general	8
assembly, state budget estimates of revenues and expenditures for	9
each state fund and budget estimates for each state agency, except	10
such estimates as are required under section 126.022 of the	11
Revised Code, and, as applicable, the performance data required to	12
be submitted by state agencies by division (A) of section 126.18	13
of the Revised Code. The budget estimates for each state agency	14
for which direct appropriations are proposed shall include the	15
following details:	16

(A) Estimates of the operating budget;

17

(B) Estimates of the subsidy appropriations necessary,	18
delineated by a distinct subsidy program;	19

(C) Estimates for special purposes, delineated by a distinct	20
special purpose program;	21

(D) Estimates of appropriations necessary from each fund in	22
reasonable detail to allow for adequate planning and oversight of	23
programs and activities.	24

In the preparation of state revenue and expenditure	25
estimates, the director of budget and management shall, not later	26
than the fifteenth day of September in the year preceding the	27
first regular session of the general assembly, distribute to all	28
affected state agencies the forms necessary for the preparation of	29
budget requests, which shall be in the form prescribed by the	30
director in consultation with the legislative service commission	31
to procure information concerning the revenues and expenditures	32
for the preceding and current bienniums, an estimate of the	33
revenues and expenditures of the current fiscal year, and an	34
estimate of the revenues and proposed expenditures for the	35
respective agencies for the two succeeding fiscal years for which	36
appropriations have to be made, and, as applicable, the	37
performance data required by division (A) of section 126.18 of the	38
Revised Code. Each such agency shall, not later than the first day	39
of November, file with the director its estimate of revenues and	40
proposed expenditures for the succeeding biennium and, where	41
required by section 126.18 of the Revised Code, a comprehensive	42
and integrated statement of agency missions and outcome and	43
performance measures.	44

Each such agency shall, not later than the first day of	45
December, file with the chairperson of the finance committees of	46
the senate and house of representatives and the legislative	47
service commission a duplicate copy of such budget request.	48

The budget request shall be accompanied by a statement in	49
writing giving facts and explanation of reasons for the items	50
requested. The director and the legislative service commission may	51
make further inquiry and investigation as to any item desired. The	52
director may approve, disapprove, or alter the requests, excepting	53
those for the legislative and judicial branches of the state. The	54
requests as revised by the director constitute the state budget	55
estimates of revenues and expenditures which the director is	56
required to submit to the governor.	57

The director shall determine a method to incorporate the	58
principles of zero-based budgeting into the forms prescribed in	59
this section.	60

Sec. 126.022.  Not later than four weeks after the general	61
assembly convenes in each even-numbered year, the director of	62
budget and management shall prepare and recommend to the general	63
assembly, subject to the concurrence of the governor, estimates of	64
revenues from, or derived from, payments to the state under the	65
tobacco master settlement agreement and, expenditures of such	66
revenues for the biennium beginning on the following first day of	67
July, and, as applicable, the performance data required by	68
division (A) of section 126.18 of the Revised Code. Each state	69
agency affected by such revenues or expenditures shall submit to	70
the director of budget and management any related information the	71
director requires, in such form and at such times as the director	72
prescribes, and, where required by section 126.18 of the Revised	73
Code, a comprehensive and integrated statement of agency missions	74
and outcome and performance measures.	75

Sec. 126.18. (A) Except for the offices of the attorney	76
general, auditor of state, governor, secretary of state, and	77
treasurer of state and agencies of the legislative and judicial	78
branches, each state agency filing budget requests under section	79
126.02 of the Revised Code shall, in accordance with the schedule	80
set forth in division (B) of this section, include with its	81
requests data that measure the performance of the programs and	82
activities of the agency in meeting program goals and objectives.	83
Data reported shall include indicators of output, efficiency,	84
outcomes, and other measures relevant to each program and	85
activity. The agency shall also include historical data needed for	86
an understanding of major trends and shall set targets for future	87
performance where feasible and appropriate. All such data shall be	88
presented in a manner that serves to assist legislative review of	89
and decision making concerning the programs and activities of the	90
agency.	91

(B)(1) Division (A) of this section shall apply to the budget	92
requests of the department of education and the department of job	93
and family services beginning with their budget requests for the	94
biennium ending June 30, 2015.	95

(2) The director of budget and management shall divide all	96
other agencies subject to division (A) of this section into the	97
following three categories:	98

(a) Agencies to which division (A) shall apply beginning with	99
their budget requests for the biennium ending June 30, 2015;	100

(b) Agencies to which division (A) shall apply beginning with	101
their budget requests for the biennium ending June 30, 2017;	102

(c) Agencies to which division (A) shall apply beginning with	103
their budget requests for the biennium ending June 30, 2019.	104

(C) The director shall provide all agencies subject to	105
division (A) of this section with substantial technical assistance	106
in carrying out the requirements of that division and shall review	107
the appropriateness, validity, and reliability of agency	108
performance measures and data.	109

(D) Beginning with the biennium after the biennium in which	110
the budget requests of the Ohio board of regents first become	111
subject to division (A) of this section, the board shall offer	112
assistance to each state university or college as defined in	113
section 3345.12 of the Revised Code in developing relevant	114
performance measures for the university's or college's programs	115
and activities and in setting targets for future performance where	116
feasible and appropriate.	117

Section 2. That existing sections 126.02 and 126.022 of the	118
Revised Code are hereby repealed.	119
