Creates a new joint committee on government efficiency
HB 2937 creates a new Joint Committee on Government Efficiency to review state operations and identify cost-saving opportunities. The committee, composed of appointed legislative members, will examine state rules for inefficiency, analyze agency budgets (including potential staff reductions), review unused state property, assess budget-impacting laws, and evaluate Missouri's social services system. Its recommendations on budget cuts and property sales automatically take effect in February unless the legislature or governor blocks them. Savings from these recommendations will fund a dedicated "Government Efficiency Fund" held in the state treasury. The committee must submit annual reports by December 1st and a comprehensive report by September 1st of even-numbered years.
