State agencies would make yearly plans and report on progress

Each state agency would develop and carry out a plan for its goals. A state agency includes departments, boards, councils, commissions, institutions, and other executive branch agencies, including constituent units. The section would take effect October 1, 2026. Agencies would have to develop and carry out their first plans by July 1, 2027, and do so annually after that.

Each agency would report on its plan and progress to the Office of Policy and Management and its oversight committee; that office would review agencies’ progress. The report covers the agency’s plan and its progress toward its goals during the prior year. The first report would be due January 1, 2028, covering the prior year, with annual reports after that. Reviews would happen at least every two years.

The committee overseeing an agency that reports would hold a hearing for the agency’s executive authority to present its plan. The hearing applies to the General Assembly committee overseeing an agency that submitted a report. The hearing would follow receipt of the report; the text sets no specific deadline.
