Budget Reductions

Freeze exception logs submitted by state agencies

Agency directors may approve exceptions to the spending freeze when an expense (hiring, contract, travel, goods or equipment) is deemed critical to statutory duties.

Agencies report their exceptions to OFM and will be posted here every two weeks.
