Ohio Revised Code 126.13 provides the statutory basis for Ohio’s Results-Focused Budgeting framework.

Ohio’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget guidance required agencies to provide detailed information on program effectiveness as part our Results-Focused Budgeting efforts. Agencies submitted a Results-Focused Budgeting Report package, which included logic models, output and outcome measures, and evidence for new or expanding programs. Results-focused information provided in the agency budget requests informed discussions that build the Governor’s executive budget and the Office of Budget and Management (OBM) Director’s testimony before the legislature in support of the budget.
