Finds that agency missions, goals, and objectives should focus on statewide results.

Declares an intent to focus the biennial budget on how state agencies produce real results that reflect the goals of statutory programs. Specifically, budget managers and the legislature must have the data to move toward better statewide results that produce the intended public benefit. This data must be supplied in an impartial, quantifiable form, and demonstrate progress toward statewide results.

Declares that, with a renewed focus on achieving true results, state agencies, the office of financial management, and the legislature will be able to prioritize state resources.

Provides that the act shall be null and void if appropriations are not approved.
