State Task Force for Agency Reorganization; establish.
What changed between versions
The deadline for submitting the agency consolidation plan was moved from November 1, 2026 to November 1, 2025, accelerating the planning timeline by one year.
The effective date for the initial planning section was changed from July 1, 2027 to 'from and after passage,' making the planning phase effective immediately upon the bill's enactment.
A new State Task Force for Agency Reorganization was created to study executive branch organization and provide recommendations for improving governmental efficiency, replacing the immediate consolidation mandate.
The requirement that the Department of Finance and Administration immediately assume all functions of the State Personnel Board and Department of Information Technology Services was removed, replacing it with a plan development and recommendation process.
New provisions establish the composition of the State Task Force, including seven specific appointees from the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and legislative committee chairs.
The bill now focuses on developing a plan for streamlined administration of services across agencies rather than mandating the consolidation of specific agencies into one department.
