2014 BILLTRACKER: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
• Our bill tracking and fiscal notes processes
remain integrated
• Billtracker captures and coordinates bill
analysis across campus and includes fields,
when activated, to gather fiscal note data
(Becka will cover the latter next)
• Ability to view fiscal and policy analyses in
user view
• Coordinated effort from UW HR and F2

ASSESSMENT REQUESTS
I. Remember that clear,
concise, and
conscientious is easier
for us to use than
sarcastic, short or
rambling responses
II. Assessments are
policy reviews and
opinion gathering;
separate and distinct
from fiscal impact

BUDGET UPDATES

• When budgets are released, OPB will quickly
review and discuss with State Relations
• OPB will produce budget briefs and send
these out to our standard lists
• We will also post to our blog and website:
OPBlog: Higher Ed Junction
opb.washington.edu
• Supplemental budget session, so we expect
technical corrections, targeted investments (if
any) and hopefully, a fast and furious race to
sine die on March 13th
