The 2026-27 Budget: Contract to Achieve Operational Efficiencies

Mar 10, 2026 - The administration submitted its first February status report of the BCG contract on February 6, 2026. This report provided little information beyond what was already included in the contract. For example, the report did not specify what, if any, changes had been implemented to date or whether the state was on track to achieve the level of savings assumed in 2025-26 or the out-years resulting from the contract.
