Bill > HB158

This bill requires state agencies to develop and submit detailed accountability and evaluation plans for any programs or projects funded by the Government Results and Opportunity Expendable Trust, a specific fund for government initiatives. These plans, which must be developed according to instructions from the division director and the director of the legislative finance committee, need to outline the program's goals, activities, evidence base, performance measures, evaluation methods, and how results will be shared. Agencies will be notified by May 1st each year and must submit their plans by July 1st, with potential revisions due by September 1st. By July 15th of the final year of funding, the division director and the director of the legislative finance committee will review the program's evaluation and make recommendations for its inclusion in future agency budgets.
