Summary
Jason Akbar, Deputy Director in OBM's Budget Section, presented a roughly $15.5 million FY26 request and said OBM will reassess FY27 needs after reviewing the first two quarters of FY26; no objections were raised and the board approved the item.
The State Controlling Board approved an OBM request for fiscal-year 2026 spending authority totaling about $15,500,000.
Jason Akbar, deputy director of the Budget Section at the Office of Budget and Management, told the board that OBM is currently focused on FY26 and will evaluate FY27 needs after the first two quarters of FY26 close. Representative Stewart asked whether there was any estimate for FY27 and about general health insurance premium trends; Akbar said the agency would gather and circulate more specific premium-change information on request.
The board approved the appropriation request without recorded roll-call tallies.
What happens next: OBM will monitor the fiscal year and return with additional FY27 information if needed.
