Bill > H2778

This bill establishes a "Sunset Act" to periodically review state government agencies, authorities, and advisory committees to identify and eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency. It creates a Sunset Advisory Commission, composed of legislative members, to oversee this process. The commission will assign sunset dates, meaning a scheduled end date, for these entities and will conduct thorough reviews based on specific criteria, such as efficiency, effectiveness, public need, and overlap with other government functions. Following these reviews, the commission will make recommendations to the legislature regarding the abolition, continuation, or reorganization of these entities, and will also propose legislation to implement its recommendations. The bill also outlines procedures for handling the affairs of abolished entities, including the transfer of property and records, and the continuation of financial obligations.
