This bill establishes a permanent Process Improvement Program Task Force within the Department of the Treasury, aimed at enhancing government efficiency through the Lean Six Sigma management approach. The task force will conduct comprehensive reviews of government processes across the State, counties, municipalities, and local school districts to identify areas that could benefit from process improvement. It will prioritize these processes, develop implementation guidelines, and provide ongoing guidance and monitoring. The task force will consist of various state officials and public members with relevant expertise, and it is required to meet regularly and issue annual reports detailing its findings and recommendations.
Additionally, the bill mandates that after reviewing the task force's reports, the Governor and relevant local governing bodies must take action to implement the recommended process improvements. This includes directing departments to develop and implement programs, issuing necessary executive orders or resolutions, and seeking legislative changes to facilitate these improvements. The overall goal is to improve service delivery and operational efficiency within government entities, ultimately leading to cost savings and enhanced public sector performance.
