Budget calendar
AFY2027 and FY2028 decision calendar
Follow confirmed Georgia budget requests, foster-care hearings, evidence reviews and expected budget stages without confusing FY and AFY.
Links use the clean canonical page address.
Confirmed dates have official sources. Expected windows are monitoring cues, not promises. Georgia passes both an amended current-year budget and a next-year annual budget; this record never collapses AFY and FY into one “budget.”
For the office-by-office decision chain behind these dates, see who controls Georgia's foster-care budget. Material date and document changes are recorded in the funding updates.
The Sept. 17 foster-care cost study committee tracker has the meeting-specific public record.
