Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 799 amends the Government Code to require state agency employee exit interviews to be conducted electronically by means of a questionnaire on the state auditor's Internet site. The state auditor must consult with the comptroller and state agency representatives designated by the comptroller in developing the questionnaire. Questionnaire responses are confidential, and the exit interview must allow the employee alone to describe the reason for leaving employment. The bill requires a quarterly report by the state auditor to each agency that conducts exit interviews using the questionnaire. Biennially in advance of the legislative regular session, the auditor must submit to the governor and specified legislative leaders a summary report of exit interview findings.
