Accompanying the Governor’s proposed FY 2013 budget is the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act (BRFA) of 2013.  Because the budget bill itself cannot amend state laws or effect provisions lasting beyond its own fiscal year, the BRFA makes the changes to law, both short-term and long, to implement the budget plan.

The BRFA of 2013 contains many statutory provisions of concern for county governments.  MACo has prepared a chart summarizing these provisions and county concerns.
