House Committee on Government Accountability & Oversight
Senate Committee on Governmental Operations
Background:
The Legislature may schedule a program or agency to be terminated under the sunset review process. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) must conduct a review of the program or agency and provide a preliminary report to the Office of Financial Management (OFM) during the year prior to the termination date. The JLARC must submit a final report to the OFM and the Legislature.
Entities scheduled to sunset must establish performance measures and develop a data collection plan subject to review and comment by the JLARC. The Sunset Act establishes factors that must be considered by the JLARC when conducting its review of the entity. If an entity is terminated under the sunset review process, it continues its existence until June 30 of the next succeeding year in order to conclude its business.
The sunset review process is set to expire on June 30, 2015.
Summary:
The termination date for the sunset review process is extended until June 30, 2025.
