Legislation Regarding the Regulation of Participatory Budgeting Experiences
PB programs are regulated by the individual cities, counties, school districts, and organizations that implement them; there is no state - or national- level regulation of PB to our knowledge.
Outstanding Innovation
New York City created a Civic Engagement Commission that is responsible for expanding PBNYC into a city-wide process with considerably more resources and the New York City Department of Education has launched PB in 48 high schools with the plan of quickly expanding to all public high schools.
Principal Tendencies Detected
Steady growth in number of Participatory Budgeting processes, size of PB budgets, and number of participants. Rapid growth in school-based PB processes.
