Legislative budget

A legislative budget is a financial plan proposed by a government’s legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. It outlines how public funds will be allocated and spent on various programs and services over a specific period, typically a year. This budget must be approved by the legislature before the government can spend any money. It reflects the priorities of the elected representatives and influences areas like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The process ensures transparency and accountability in how taxpayer money is used to support community needs and government operations.
