Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 181 removed the focus on reviewing tax credits and shifted the emphasis solely to performance-based budgeting. It establishes the Performance-Based Budget Board, which will be responsible for overseeing how state agencies manage their budgets based on performance metrics, rather than tax credit evaluations. This change is significant because it redirects efforts to enhance the efficiency and accountability of government spending without the complexities of reviewing various tax credit programs.
