An Act relating to the powers and duties of the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee; relating to the powers and duties of the legislative audit division; providing for a sunset review of executive branch agencies; and providing for an effective date.

SB 222 requires Alaska's Legislative Budget and Audit Committee to conduct periodic reviews of all executive branch agencies every six years. It mandates agencies to submit annual reports on their mission fulfillment, cost-effectiveness, and performance metrics, with the audit division verifying this data. The review process includes public hearings and evaluates agencies based on specific criteria like budget efficiency, service quality, and whether activities align with statutory mandates. The committee then issues recommendations for termination, continuation, or reorganization, supported by draft legislation. This bill directly affects all state agencies by establishing a structured, transparent process for evaluating their ongoing necessity and effectiveness.
