A.     The division, in consultation with the committee, shall develop instructions for those agencies required to submit performance-based program budget requests.  The instructions shall be sent to the agencies on or before June 15 of each year and shall be in addition to any other forms required by Section 6-3-18 NMSA 1978.  The instructions shall require that performance-based program budget requests contain the following:

(2)     for each approved program, an evaluation of the agency's progress in meeting the performance targets.  The evaluation shall be developed as prescribed in the budget instructions;

(3)     for each approved program, the outputs, outcomes, baseline data, performance measures and historic and proposed performance targets;

(4)     if a performance audit has been conducted on an approved program during either the present or any of the immediately preceding two fiscal years, any responses that the agency may have to the audit and any actions that the agency has taken as a result of the audit; and

(5)     any other information that the division believes may be useful to the division or the legislature in developing a budget for the agency.

B.     On or before September 1 of each year, each agency shall submit a performance-based program budget request to the division and the committee in the form and manner prescribed in the budget instructions.  Budget requests submitted pursuant to this section shall be in lieu of those required by Section 6-3-19 NMSA 1978.
