(a) The budget document, presenting the financial plan of the state government for the next fiscal year, shall be set up in three (3) parts, the nature and contents of which are as follows:

(1)

(A) Part 1 shall consist of a budget message by the governor which shall outline the financial policy of the state government for the ensuing fiscal year, describing in connection therewith the important features of the financial plan; it shall also embrace a general budget summary setting forth the aggregate figures of the budget in such manner as to show the balances, relations between the total proposed expenditures and the total anticipated revenues, together with the other means of financing the budget for the next fiscal year, contrasted with the corresponding figures for the last completed fiscal year and for the fiscal year in progress. The general budget summary shall be supported by explanatory schedules or statements, classifying the expenditures contained therein by organization units, objects and funds and the income by organization units, sources, and funds;

(B) Part 1 also shall include a schedule on tax exemptions, identifying, to the extent practicable, all exemptions from state taxes and estimating the amount of revenue which would be collected by the state in the ensuing fiscal year if the exemptions were not to exist. The schedule shall include an estimate for each such exemption. The estimates of such exemptions shall be based upon the revenue estimates included in the budget document;

(2) [Deleted by 2013 amendment, effective April 19, 2013.]

(3) Part 2 shall embrace the detailed budget estimates both of expenditures and revenues as provided in this chapter; it also shall include performance measures and standards required by §  9-4-5606; it shall also include a statement of the bonded indebtedness of the state government, showing the debt redemption requirements scheduled over the fiscal years until the final date of retirement, the net and gross debt of the state, and the condition of the sinking funds; in addition thereto, it shall contain any statements relative to the financial plan which the governor may deem desirable, or which may be required by the general assembly; and

(4) Part 3 shall embrace complete drafts of the budget bills, that is, the legislative measures required to give legal sanction to the financial plan when adopted by the general assembly. These bills shall include an appropriation bill, authorizing, by spending agencies and by funds, all expenditures of the state government for the next fiscal year, and such other bills as may be required to provide the revenues necessary to finance the budget. The governor shall submit these bills for introduction in both houses of the general assembly no later than fourteen (14) days after the budget document is transmitted or by the general bill cut-off date in the respective houses, whichever is later.

(b) The capital budget, to be included in part 2 of the budget document, shall contain funding for all capital outlay. Funding for all capital improvement projects of whatever amount and funding for each capital maintenance project of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more shall be specified by project, by affected spending agency, and by funding sources, including state current funds, bonds, and other revenue. Funding for each capital maintenance project of less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) shall be specified in such detail in the budget document as the governor shall determine.
