IN RE:	HB3425 by Zedler (Relating to a continuous improvement process at state agencies.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require each agency to evaluate implementation of a continuous improvement process to increase efficiency and cost savings.  The bill would authorize an agency, upon completion of the evaluation, to implement the process, and would require evaluation and implementation activities to be summarized in the agency's annual report.  It is assumed that any costs associated with continuous improvement processes would not be significant and could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
