LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
The State Government Strategic Planning and Performance and Review Act requires certain state entities to develop a strategic plan and report to the Governor and to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee by April 1, 1995, and by each April 1 thereafter on the steps being taken to develop and adopt a strategic plan. Existing law requires the report to include specified elements and to identify the steps being taken to develop performance measures that could be used for a performance budgeting system or a performance review. The act contains related findings and declarations.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the findings and declarations.
Digest Key
Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee:Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 19431 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read:19431.
(a) The board shall establish and maintain a general office for the transaction of its business in Sacramento. The board may establish any branch office for the transaction of its business at a place to be determined by it, and may hold meetings at any other place within the state when the interests of the public may be better served.(A)
(At)
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)Waste and inefficiency in state government undermine the confidence of Californians in government and reduces the state government’s ability to adequately address vital public needs.
(b)State government, in many instances, is a morass of bureaucratic red tape and regulations that ultimately stifle economic revitalization and further alienate the people the agencies were created to serve.
(c)Legislative policymaking, spending decisions, and program
oversight are seriously handicapped by insufficient attention to program performance and results.
(d)Many of the basic components of performance-based government are missing from day-to-day operations in state government. These include strategic planning, performance measurement, management information systems, performance budget contracts, and management flexibility.
(e)The tremendous success of performance reviews in Texas and other states serve as excellent performance-based models of government for California state government.
(f)A performance review of California state government could identify ways to reduce state spending through more efficient and effective operations and programs, without reducing services to residents.
(g)A performance
review of California state government could challenge and question the basic assumptions underlying all state agencies and the programs and services offered by the state in order to identify those that are vital to the best interests of the people of the state and those that no longer meet that goal.
(h)The Legislature authorized implementation of performance budgeting pilot projects in Chapter 641 of the Statutes of 1993, which added Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 11800).
(i)Strategic planning is a prerequisite for effective performance reviews and effective performance budgeting.
