AI Summary

This bill authorizes state departments and agencies to enter into two types of collaborative agreements: intergovernmental agreements with other governmental bodies and partnership agreements with private-sector entities and nonprofit organizations, with the goal of achieving statutory mandates. Inspired by New Zealand's successful government industry agreements in managing biosecurity threats, the bill establishes guidelines for these partnerships. Each agreement must be consistent with the department's statutory mandates, promote public benefits, align with state policy goals, ensure transparency and accountability, and be reviewed and approved by the attorney general. To maintain oversight, each department or agency is required to submit an annual report to the Legislature detailing the scope, purpose, and outcomes of their agreements. The bill is specifically aimed at improving governmental efficiency and collaboration, particularly in areas like food sustainability and production, by allowing more flexible partnerships between government entities and private sectors. The legislation is set to take effect on May 13, 2040, providing ample time for implementation and preparation.
