Bill > H1682

This bill establishes the Sunset Act, which creates a procedure for the identification and elimination of waste, duplication, and inefficiency in state government agencies and authorities. The bill sets up a Sunset Advisory Commission to review agencies and authorities and make recommendations to the legislature on whether they should be abolished, continued, or reorganized. The Commission will consider factors such as the efficiency and effectiveness of the agency or authority, whether its mission and goals have been achieved, and whether its activities overlap with those of other agencies. The bill also outlines the process for abolishing agencies and authorities, including handling outstanding obligations and transferring property and records. Additionally, the bill requires the Commission to review and comment on any new bills that would create a new agency, authority, or advisory committee.
