TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE EVALUATION OF NECESSITY OF VARIOUS COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS.

This bill amends the process for evaluating the necessity and effectiveness of various state boards, commissions, and advisory councils. It mandates the abolishment of any board or commission that has no prescribed powers or duties and has not held a meeting with a quorum in two years. For other inactive boards, the Joint Performance Review Committee is required to reevaluate their purpose and effectiveness if they fail to meet regularly or with a quorum for four consecutive times within a two-year period. The committee will then report its findings and draft legislation, which could include abolishing, merging, or modifying the board, and submit it to the Governor.
