    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the  contrary,  any
    2  provision  of  statute or regulation that requires a local government or
    3  school district to submit a report to a state agency or authority  shall
    4  expire  and be deemed repealed on April 1, 2013; provided, however, that
    5  all provisions of such statutes and regulations other than such specific
    6  reporting requirements shall be unaffected by the repeal of such report-
    7  ing requirements and remain in full force and effect.
    8    S 2. Every state agency and authority shall prepare and submit to  the
    9  mandate  relief  council,  on or before December 31, 2012, a report that
   10  identifies each report it receives from  local  governments  and  school
   11  districts pursuant to statutory or regulatory requirements and, for each
   12  such  report,  explains the agency's or authority's need for the report,
   13  makes a recommendation to eliminate or continue the  reporting  require-
   14  ment,  and,  where  the  recommendation  is  to  continue  the reporting
   15  requirement, makes additional recommendations including but not  limited
   16  to the secure electronic transmission of data directly to state agencies
   17  and  authorities  to reduce the burden the reporting requirement imposes
   18  on local governments and school districts.
   19    S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
