The biennial budget submitted to the legislature must be considered in the light of the longer-range plans and goals of the state. The effectiveness of the short-range plan presented as budget proposals, cannot be measured without being aware of these longer-range goals. Thus efficient management requires that the planning and fiscal activities of state government be integrated into a unified process. It is the purpose of this chapter to bring these functions together in a new division of the office of the governor to be called the office of financial management.","path":["Title 43","Chapter 43.41"],"source_url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=43.41.030","current_through":"July 15, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:49:47Z","sha256":"e29aca399ba26d3b8dd4df49a791dac6ed1f414c65a0b75de0969f0ded30a2c2","source_id":"us-wa","stale":false,"prev":"us-wa/rcw-43.394.020","next":"us-wa/rcw-43.41.040"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
