The bill aims to streamline state agency publications by eliminating or modifying those that are outdated, duplicative, or excessive. Key amendments include the requirement for the commissioner to publish a list of all brands and marks in a downloadable format on the department's website, rather than in physical form for sale. Additionally, the bill mandates that state agencies compile a list of their publications every ten years, highlighting those that could be improved or consolidated, and submit this list to the governor and legislature. The governor is also required to submit a bill every ten years to address the identified publications.
Other significant changes involve the removal of various reporting requirements, such as annual reports on waterfowl conservation tag fees and the condition of funds managed by the commissioner of revenue. The bill also eliminates the need for certain notifications to the legislature regarding oil and gas lease sales and the annual report on employee recruitment and retention in child welfare. Overall, the bill seeks to reduce unnecessary paperwork and improve the efficiency of state agency operations.
