Summary

Existing law establishes the Joint Sunset Review Committee (committee) , a legislative committee comprised of 10 Members of the Legislature, to identify and eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency in government agencies and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of an eligible agency, as defined, for which a date for repeal has been established, to determine if the agency is still necessary and cost effective. Existing law requires each eligible agency scheduled for repeal to submit to the committee, on or before December 1 before the year it is set to be repealed, a complete agency report covering the entire period since last reviewed, as described. This bill would additionally require each eligible agency scheduled for repeal to submit to the committee, on or before December 1, 2026, a comprehensive report covering the entire period since last reviewed, as specified. The bill would require the committee to conduct a comprehensive analysis of each eligible agency to determine if the eligible agency is still necessary and cost-effective, as prescribed. The bill would require the committee to publish a report on its internet website with recommendations determining, among other things, whether an eligible agency should be continued with its current structure and responsibilities.
