EXPLANATION
25
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
26
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
27
This
bill
authorizes
the
department
of
management
(DOM)
to
28
create
guidance
and
guidelines
to
administer
the
accountable
29
government
Act
(Code
chapter
8E).
30
The
bill
requires
agencies
to
share
records
and
data
with
31
DOM
as
necessary
for
enterprise-wide
initiatives,
planning
32
or
policy
development,
cross-agency
collaboration,
and
33
performance
or
risk
assessments.
DOM
must
maintain
the
34
confidentiality
of
records
shared
by
an
agency
and
is
subject

to

same
penalties
as

lawful

for

of
the
information,
records,
or
data.

The
bill
replaces
the
term
“enterprise
strategic
plan”
3
with
“enterprise
priorities”
and
replaces
the
term
“agency
4
performance
plan”
with
“agency
operational
plan”.
5
The
bill
strikes
the
requirement
that
DOM
provide
employees
6
and
the
public
a
way
to
give
input
on
DOM
and
agency
strategic
7
plans,
strikes
DOM’s
obligation
to
adopt,
develop,
revise,
8
and
disseminate
a
strategic
plan,
and
strikes
DOM’s
and
9
the
agencies’
obligation
to
review
the
enterprise
strategic
10
plan.
The
bill
also
strikes
the
requirement
that
an
agency
11
align
individual
performance
instruments
with
the
agency’s
12
operational
plan.
13
The
bill
strikes
DOM’s
obligation
to
establish
guidelines
14
for
performance
measures,
performance
targets,
and
data
15
sources
for
each
agency
and
each
agency’s
functions
and
instead
16
requires
each
agency
to
identify,
collect,
and
maintain
data
17
necessary
for
monitoring
and
assessing
their
operations.
18
The
bill
eliminates
DOM’s
obligation
to
consult
with
the
19
legislative
services
agency,
the
auditor
of
state,
and
agencies
20
when
establishing
and
implementing
a
system
of
periodic
21
performance
audits.
The
bill
also
eliminates
DOM’s
obligation
22
to
provide
for
an
analysis
of
the
performance
data’s
integrity
23
and
validity
in
conjunction
with
the
legislative
services
24
agency
and
the
auditor
of
state.
Instead,
the
bill
requires
25
each
agency
to
safeguard
its
own
records
and
data
and
provide
26
DOM
with
data
and
records
upon
DOM’s
request.
The
bill
also
27
requires
an
agency
to
routinely
update
the
data
and
records
to
28
allow
for
DOM
to
monitor
the
agency’s
performance.
29
The
bill
strikes
the
requirement
that
