House Bill 1182 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 4-1-408, by deleting the existing subsection (c) and replacing it with new language. The revised subsection mandates that each department and agency must annually report their progress in achieving economic efficiency during their budget hearings to the relevant committees in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Additionally, these reports are required to be posted on the respective department's or agency's website.
The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in state government operations by ensuring that progress reports are not only presented during budget hearings but also made accessible to the public online. This change aims to enhance the oversight of economic efficiency efforts within state departments and agencies. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in promoting public welfare.
