AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce paperwork within the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) by increasing the use of information technology, eliminating costly and wasteful government publications, and eliminating duplicative permitting and paperwork requirements through inter-agency file sharing. The commissioner of DESE is required to investigate statutory and technological impediments to reducing paper use and submit findings and recommendations to the legislature by August 31, 2021. Additionally, the bill mandates that DESE inventory all state and federal planning, reporting, and data gathering requirements for public education administrators by July 1, 2022 and biannually thereafter, and develop a single master reporting form to prevent duplicate information from being reported more than once yearly per school district.
