What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires each department in the executive branch of state government to, no later than July 1, 2022, develop and maintain a publicly available dashboard on its Internet site, or on an Internet site maintained by the Department of Administration, that reports on the department's performance of its core functions.
Under the bill, the dashboards must be updated on a quarterly basis, and, to the extent practicable, each department must engage stakeholders in discussions about the department's performance. The performance metrics each department uses for its dashboard must include the performance metrics the department used for its dashboard as of July 1, 2018, under 2016 Executive Order No. 189, which included requirements similar to the bill.
