AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

 

S.B. 241 streamlines agency reporting requirements by repealing obsolete or redundant reports and removing recipients who no longer need to receive reports.

 

During each interim, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission conducts a comprehensive review of reports required of all state agencies and institutions of higher education. The review focuses on whether or not recipients and preparers of the reports still find the information useful. This bill incorporates recommendations from agencies in the commission's report.

 

S.B. 241 is an important step toward eliminating unnecessary agency reporting requirements so that our agencies can focus their resources on other priorities. (Original Author's/Sponsor's Statement of Intent)

 

S.B. 241 amends current law relating to certain required reports received or prepared by state agencies and other governmental entities.

 

[Note: While the statutory reference in this bill is to the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), the following amendments affect the Health and Human Services Commission, as the successor agency to DADS.]
