Performance measures and standards are now included in each agency's long range program plan, available on the agency's website or at the Florida Fiscal Portal.

Prior to Fiscal Year 2007-08, the Legislature annually approved performance measures and standards as part of the legislative appropriations process.  The following documents list agency performance measures and standards approved by the Legislature each fiscal year. 

These OPPAGA reports describe the early status of performance-based program budgeting in Florida and provide recommendations for improving the process.
