Oklahoma state budget

The Budget of the State of Oklahoma is the governor's proposal to the Oklahoma Legislature which recommends funding levels to operate the state government for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1. Legislative decisions are governed by rules and legislation regarding the state budget process.

After the Legislature approves an appropriations bill, it is sent to the governor, who may sign it into law, or may veto it. A vetoed bill is sent back to the Legislature, which can pass it into law with a two-thirds majority in each chamber. The Legislature may also combine all or some appropriations bills into an omnibus appropriations bill. In addition, the governor may request and the Legislature may pass supplemental appropriations bills or emergency supplemental appropriations bills.

Several government agencies provide budget data and analysis. These include the Oklahoma Office of State Finance, Oklahoma Tax Commission, the Office of the Oklahoma State Treasurer, and the Office of the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector.
