Reporting
requirements.

Subject:
Amending and
repealing various requirements for reporting to the legislature or legislative
committee.

Summary/Major Elements:

This act is the first step in
a multi-year process to review and amend or repeal various reporting
requirements to the legislature or legislative committees.

Legislative committees
required by law to receive various reports reviewed those requirements and
modified the requirement or repealed the requirement as they deemed
appropriate.

For reports to the entire
Legislature or to the LSO, the Management Council reviewed the requirement and
took action or referred the requirement to an interim committee.

Reports not considered this
past interim are to be considered in the upcoming interim.

Most of the repealed
requirements were for obsolete reports. No substantive changes in the
underlying duties (other than reporting) are affected nor were reports to
entities other than the Legislative branch considered.

Comments:

Report Required repeals numerous
reporting requirements and modifies other requirements.
