Trenton – The Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Assembly Budget Committee are offering the public the opportunity to provide input on Governor Phil Murphy’s budget proposal for the nine-month Fiscal Year 2021 spending plan that runs from October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

The Governor offered his proposal yesterday for the COVID-shortened nine-month fiscal year. The timetable gives the Legislature five weeks to finalize the plan.
