13335.1.
(a) As used in this article, “performance-based budgeting” means a system of budgeting that uses information on performance to inform resource allocation decisions, thereby establishing clear accountability.
(b) The purpose of performance-based budgeting is to inform policy, fiscal, and oversight decisions by the Governor and Members of the Legislature; to focus managers, supervisors, and rank-and-file workers on achieving desired goals; and to communicate to the public the value of public programs, progress toward desired results, and the choices available to improve the expenditure of public funds.
(c) The State Department of Health Care Services shall submit to the department for approval a complete and detailed budget at the time and in the form prescribed by the plan developed by the department pursuant to Section 13335.3 that sets forth all proposed expenditures and estimated revenues for the ensuing fiscal year.
(d) A budget submitted to the department pursuant to subdivision (c) shall use performance-based budgeting to make clear to policymakers and the public the value and results of existing operations and proposed changes.

(b) The Legislative Analyst’s Office shall review the adequacy of performance metrics and progress toward targeted outcomes with regard to programs administered by the State Department of Health Care Services in preparing its review of the Governor’s budget proposal.

SECTION 1.
(a)It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to provide a system of analysis that supports a results-oriented framework for the delivery of public services and the operation of state departments and programs. That framework should prioritize understanding the results of programs and funding that are subject to a transfer of authority and responsibility from state government to county governments.
~~(b)The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:~~
~~(1)State government must focus on the outcomes of public policy decisions and public programs to ensure opportunities are available for all Californians to achieve a high quality of life.~~
(2)The Legislature must ensure that policymakers, public program administrators, and rank-and-file state workers have access to relevant and timely information so that they can make informed decisions in the design and delivery of public programs.
~~(3)The focus of that information must be on the goals of those public programs and the performance of the public agencies in administering those programs.~~
~~(4)Goal and performance information should be widely available, relevant, and timely for informing budget, policy, and oversight decisions.~~
(5)In order to identify performance measurements relevant to budget, policy, and oversight decisionmaking, public agencies must consult with the public, rank-and-file state workers, supervisors, and other officials responsible for the delivery of public programs.
~~(6)Performance measurements, including information on outcomes and other metrics relevant to improving those outcomes, should be designed to ensure that limited public resources are well spent.~~
~~(7)Establishing goal, performance, and outcome information for public programs should be part of a systematic review of the effectiveness and efficiency of those programs.~~
~~(8)Goal, performance, and outcome information should be made widely available to the public.~~
(9)Goal, performance, and outcome information should be used in the annual budget and policymaking process to inform fiscal and policy decisions and by the Legislature to enhance oversight of public programs and to ensure results-based accountability.
(10)As a component of legislative oversight, goal, performance, and outcome information should be used to identify programs that require fundamental reforms to improve outcomes and programs subject to elimination because they are ineffective.
