Division examines, tests, and evaluates requests
for appropriations by all operating units of State
government.

The Division studies and makes appropriate
recommendations on financial, revenue, and fiscal
matters that affect the current State budget, in-
cluding budget amendments, and on projected
budgetary requirements. It considers the adminis-
tration, organization, staffing, duties, and respon-
sibilities of State agencies to detect any duplica-
tion or overlapping of work, duties, or functions.

Professional personnel of the Division are as-
signed certain areas of State government. They
study and analyze budget requests, historical data,
and other information involving State agencies
within their assigned areas and make appropriate
recommendations for adjustments.

The Division also enforces numerous laws and
regulations that ensure economical and efficient
use of State funds, personnel, equipment (includ-
ing State-owned motor vehicles), and other re-
sources (State Finance and Procurement Article,
