years immediately following biennium. Not later than the first session day following
the third day of February in each odd-numbered year, the Governor shall transmit to
the General Assembly a budget document setting forth his financial program for the
ensuing biennium with a separate budget for each of the two fiscal years and having the
character and scope hereinafter set forth, and a report which sets forth estimated revenues
and expenditures for the three fiscal years next ensuing the biennium to which the budget
document relates. If the Governor has been elected or succeeded to the office of Governor
since the submission of the last-preceding budget document, he shall transmit such
document and report to the General Assembly not later than the first session day following the fourteenth day of February. In the even-numbered years, on the day on which
the General Assembly first convenes, the Governor shall transmit a report on the status
of the budget enacted in the previous year with any recommendations for adjustments
and revisions, and a report, with revisions, if any, which sets forth estimated revenues
and expenditures for the three fiscal years next ensuing the biennium in progress. The
budget document shall consist of four parts, the nature and contents of which are set
forth in sections 4-72, 4-73, 4-74 and 4-74a and shall be accompanied by the statement
of grants to towns compiled pursuant to the provisions of section 4-71a and by the
computation of the cost of an indexed increase in assistance payments made pursuant
to section 4-71c. The report which sets forth estimated revenues and expenditures for the
three fiscal years next ensuing the biennium shall contain, for each such year, estimated
revenues, itemized by major source, and estimated expenditures for each budgeted
agency for personal services, other expenses, other current expenses, equipment, payments to local governments, and other than payments to local governments. Such report
transmitted in the even-numbered years shall contain the assumptions on which the
estimated revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year next ensuing are based and shall
set forth estimated revenues and expenditures in the same detail contained in the budget
document.
