Establishes the legislative sunset advisory commission
This bill (A 4464) creates New York's Legislative Sunset Advisory Commission to review state agencies every ten years. The commission, composed of legislative leaders and appointed members, evaluates agencies using 13 specific criteria - such as efficiency, duplication with other agencies, and public impact - to determine if they should be continued, reformed, abolished, or consolidated. It must submit annual reports with binding recommendations to the governor and legislature by December 31st, including fiscal impact estimates, and requires agencies to notify employees of potential changes. This process directly affects all state agencies and their employees by subjecting their continued existence to periodic review.
