The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 248 mandates the Office of Legislative Management to conduct a study on the feasibility of reestablishing the duties, responsibilities, and staffing of the former Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee. This study will be conducted within the context of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees government matters. The study will assess the additional staffing needs, associated costs, and potential benefits of reinstating the committee. The findings and any legislative recommendations resulting from the study must be reported to the relevant committee by January 1, 2027.

The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for this study and specifies the timeline for reporting the findings. It also includes a statement of purpose that clarifies the intent to explore the reestablishment of the committee within the Government Oversight Committee. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as it primarily introduces new provisions.
