The purpose of the Budget and Management Division (BAM) is to give state leaders and the public objective and accurate information for the wise use of state resources.
BAM instructs agencies on how to develop their budget requests and makes changes to reflect the Governor's decisions.
BAM monitors agency spending and management to make sure it is in line with legislative and gubernatorial intent and complies with all laws.
BAM works with state agencies on issues that come up during the interim--sometimes appearing before the Legislative Emergency Board.
BAM helps agencies coordinate, manage, and budget for major capital financing or construction projects by issuing Certificates of Participation (pdf) to finance capital construction and infrastructure.
BAM helps agencies manage about three million acres of public land; this work includes disposing surplus public real property.
BAM coordinates the state's bonded debt process.
