Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the secretary of administration and executive branch agencies to take actions related to improving government service delivery. Under the bill, “government service delivery” means an action by an agency, or by a contractor or nonprofit organization acting on the agency’s behalf or administering an agency program, to provide a benefit or service to a resident, business, or organization in this state.

The bill directs the secretary to appoint a government service delivery coordinator. Under the bill, the coordinator’s duties include coordinating agency efforts to improve government service delivery, particularly with respect to high-impact service programs; developing standards, policies, and guidelines for agencies regarding government service delivery; coordinating the collection of qualitative and quantitative information and data on government service delivery; evaluating the quality of government service delivery, including through the establishment of performance metrics; and engaging with stakeholders to identify leading practices in service design and delivery.
