Committee: State Affairs
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This legislation deals with state budget issues. First, it makes state government more efficient by requiring state agencies to identify all employee positions that have been vacant for over a year and either eliminating the position and reducing the agency budget request accordingly, or funding and filling the position using existing funds. In doing so, this could reduce the size of government agencies to a level at which they have already demonstrated the ability to operate. Second, it requires state agencies to report on employee travel for the previous fiscal year when each state agency submits its annual budget request to the Governor and the Legislature.
FISCAL NOTE
▶ Show fiscal note▼ Hide fiscal note
This legislation does not increase or decrease any governmental revenues, nor does it require the expenditure of any governmental funds. It may have the effect of reducing government spending if unneeded positions that have been vacant for over a year are eliminated. The exact amount of such savings will not be known until all agency budget requests are submitted on September 1, 2025. Additional savings on state employee travel expenses are also likely as better data on these costs are compiled and submitted to state budget policy makers.
