Bill > AB766

This bill amends the Government Code to require state agencies, departments, offices, and commissions under the Governor's authority to develop and report on strategic plans with enhanced requirements for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Specifically, the bill mandates that these entities include data analysis and inclusive practices in their strategic plans to advance racial equity, identifying and addressing disparities in their policies, programs, and operations. The agencies must engage with historically disadvantaged and underserved California communities to gather input on their strategic plans, which must then be made publicly available. The bill requires these entities to submit an annual report to the Governor and Joint Legislative Budget Committee by April 1st, starting in 2026, detailing their strategic planning process. The report must describe the strategic plan's elements, development process, completion timeline, and steps for creating performance measures. When developing these strategic plans, agencies must consult with employee organizations, the Legislature, client groups, suppliers, and contractors to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach to strategic planning.
