Mandated Reports, Boards, and Commissions - Revisions
HB 640 repeals outdated or unnecessary government reporting requirements, boards, and commissions to improve administrative efficiency. It specifically eliminates obsolete entities like the Renewable Fuels Incentive Board, Two-Generation Family Economic Security Commission, and the requirement for the Department of Health to report on hepatitis B/C virus activities. The bill also removes redundant reporting mandates, such as those for the Criminal Justice Information Advisory Board and several working groups under the Commission on Climate Change. These changes streamline state operations by removing duplicative or obsolete structures without creating new policies or obligations.
