budgetary legislation

Budgetary legislation refers to the laws and regulations that establish how a government plans and manages its finances for a specific period, typically a year. It details expected revenues from taxes and other sources, and outlines planned expenditures on public services, infrastructure, and programs. This legislation ensures transparency, accountability, and proper allocation of resources, guiding government actions and prioritizing spending. Essentially, it’s the legal framework that authorizes the government to collect and spend money, balancing income and expenses to meet public needs while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
