Bill > HB2301

This bill eliminates the performance-based budgeting system previously required for executive branch agencies in Kansas. Specifically, it removes the requirement for the secretary of administration to implement a comprehensive budget process that included creating a detailed program service inventory and an integrated fiscal process. The bill strikes language mandating the development of outcome-based performance measures and the capability to compare program effectiveness across different state and political boundaries. By amending and then fully repealing K.S.A. 75-3718b, the legislation effectively dismantles the existing performance tracking and accountability framework for state agencies. The key change reduces the administrative burden on state agencies by removing the requirement to develop and maintain a detailed inventory of programs, their objectives, statutory basis, and potential funding consequences. The bill will take effect upon publication in the state statute book, immediately removing these budgeting and performance evaluation requirements for most state agencies, with an exception for postsecondary educational institutions that have already implemented a separate performance agreement.
