▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation enhances transparency, streamlines the reporting process, and reduces administrative burdens on both reporting entities and the Legislature. It will improve the efficiency and accessibility of reports submitted to the Idaho Legislature by establishing a system where any agency currently required by Idaho Code to submit a report to the Legislature or its committees shall also submit the report electronically to the Legislative Services Office (LSO). It directs LSO to maintain an online system for electronic report submissions and sets a default deadline of December 15 for reports that do not otherwise have a specified due date. Additionally, the bill eliminates outdated statutory reporting requirements by amending or repealing specific provisions in Idaho Code that mandate legislative reports no longer deemed necessary.

▶ Show fiscal note

This legislation is expected to have minimal fiscal impact on the state. The Legislative Services Office will need to establish and maintain an electronic submission system for reports to the Legislature. However, this is anticipated to be accomplished within existing budgetary resources and ongoing technology infrastructure improvements. Additionally, by eliminating redundant reporting requirements and consolidating electronic submissions, the bill may result in minor cost savings for agencies required to submit reports, as well as efficiencies in legislative administration. No additional state appropriations or new revenue sources are required for implementation.
