Joint Budget Committee-Peer Review

Analyst: Kathy Schmidt

Administrative Assistant: Teresa Tripp

During Legislative Sessions the PEER (Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review) and Review subcommittees are combined to review and make recommendations to the Joint Budget Committee regarding various agency and higher education institution budget related requests. PEER reviews Miscellaneous Federal Grant Requests, Interagency Contracts, numerous appropriation transfers, additional cash appropriation requests and other budget related requests authorized by the General Assembly. The Review Subcommittee reviews professional services contracts that State Agencies and Institutions have with various entities as well as non discretionary grants, and methods of finance.
