Before the governor can sign a biennial budget that the legislature has approved, several steps must take place: 1. The attorney general issues an opinion that all expenditures are permitted by the Texas Constitution. 2. The lieutenant governor and the Speaker of the House vote to approve it. 3. The Legislative Budget Board certifies that proper procedures were followed in approving the budget. 4. The comptroller certifies that the state will collect sufficient revenue to cover the expenditures. These steps ensure that the budget is legally sound, approved by key officials, follows proper procedures, and is financially feasible for the state. Each of these criteria must be met before the governor can sign off on the budget.
