AI Summary

This bill aims to increase transparency in government regarding consultant expenses. It amends existing laws to require the publication of reports on consultant expenses, the names and salaries of experts and technical consultants employed by executive offices, and any other relevant information specified by the secretary. Additionally, the bill mandates that the salaries of experts, technical consultants, and other assistants be funded by a separate line-item in the budget, rather than being paid out of the executive office's operating budget.
