Answer:
The seven steps a state budget must go through in order to go into effect include:
1. The State comptroller has to inform the State legislature of the revenue available to the state.
2. The State agencies will then give to the legislature the account of their expenditures and what they need in the fiscal year.
3. The Legislative board in charge of budget affairs swings into action and forms a synergy with the governor’s office in the budget preparation.
4. The Budget is presented to the both chambers of the legislature as a bill.
5. The both chambers then scrutinizes it after which the house passes the budget bill
6. The bill moves back to the Executive arm of government for implementation and is certified by the state comptroller
7. The Bill is signed by the governor and it becomes valid and goes into effect( disbursing of the money to the various state agencies, etc).
