Summary
This report presents results from a body of research conducted over the last decade regarding the usefulness
of performance measurement for budgeting
and management in state governments. This report not only provides an update concerning performance-related requirements in the states.
It also assesses results from a survey sent in 2000 to state government budgeters, administrators, and staff that asked for their perceptions of the applicability
of performance measurement to the management
and budgeting processes in their respective states. Appendix I lists the legislation related to performance
measurement currently on the books in the states; Appendix II provides some background on the body of research discussed here and specifies
the methodology for the survey of state government
budgeters and agency staff that is addressed.
