What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
The bill changes the rules for state funds that can be carried over to the next year instead of returning unspent. It also changes an efficiency program in the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, so that it identifies processes to reward state entities or employees who suggest efficiency reviews, measures whether those suggestions save money or time, and requires reports on the results.
