Pintor Marin Announces Public Hearings on FY 2021 State Budget

Assembly Budget Committee chairperson Eliana Pintor Marin today announced two public hearings on the Governor’s Fiscal Year 2021 State Budget proposal.

The public hearings represent the beginning of the Legislature’s work on the budget plan. The first hearing will be held in Committee Room 11 in the State House Annex on Wednesday, March 18th starting at 9:30 a.m. The second hearing will take place in the same location with the same start time on Wednesday, March 25th.

“The public hearings on the Governor’s spending plan proposal are critically important for our committee,” said Pintor Marin (D-Essex). “The hearings give us the opportunity to gather information regarding what is important to members of the general public as well as advocacy groups and others who are impacted by the State Budget.”

Upon completion of the public hearings, the Assembly Budget Committee will schedule further hearings with individual departments of State government, which will include presentations of State revenues by the Office of Legislative Services and the State Treasurer.
