AI Summary
This joint resolution establishes the Commission on Fiscal Restraint and Government Efficiency, a nine-member body composed of three appointees each from the Senate President, House Speaker, and Governor, with the Department of Administration Director serving as a nonvoting chair. The commission's primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive review of state government operations to identify opportunities for cost reduction and increased efficiency, including examining state budget appropriations, reviewing and potentially repealing regulations that burden businesses and property rights, identifying redundant government programs, and recommending structural changes to government agencies. Commissioners will serve without compensation and may utilize government staff and third-party consultants. The commission is required to submit two reports: the first by October 1, 2025, focusing on recommended budget spending reductions, and the second by October 1, 2026, addressing its other review findings. These reports will be shared with key legislative leaders and the Governor and published on official websites. The joint resolution will automatically expire on October 2, 2026, ensuring the commission's work is time-limited and focused.
