Committee Summary Function The Executive Appropriations Committee (EAC) serves as the "hub" committee for subcommittees of the Joint Appropriations Committee. Under Joint Rule 3-2-402, EAC coordinates the activities of the eight appropriations subcommittees and formulates a state-wide budget for consideration of the Joint Appropriations Committee. The Joint Appropriations Committee - consisting of all members of the Legislature - then debates, modifies, approves, or disapproves the budget on the House and Senate floors.
 EAC meets each December to:
- adopt revenue estimates;
- set-aside amounts for fiscal notes and other costs;
- allocate revenue to appropriations subcommittees;
- adopt an overall budget figure; and,
- authorize a base budget bill.
Appropriations subcommittees then convene during the first half of the General Session. They authorize expenditures within the General and Education Funds allocation made by EAC. They also appropriate amounts from restricted funds within their jurisdiction. Finally, they may prioritize items for further funding and/or reduction. After appropriations subcommittees have completed their work in February of each year, EAC accepts and reviews subcommittee reports. It then considers the requests of subcommittees relative to one another and relative to total available revenue. By rule, EAC must make decisions necessary to draft final appropriations bills by the 38th day of the General Session. In addition to its role as a budget clearinghouse, EAC hears and considers directly the budget requests of the following entities:
