Privatization. Development and implementation of performance based budgeting and a managed process for public-private competition of government services.

Workforce restructuring: voluntary severance benefits or special retirement incentive benefit (repealed June 30, 2003). L 2000, c 253, §§115 to 124.

Because the procedure outlined in §76-2 is limited in its application to interpretations of this chapter and chapter 76, the constitutionality of any provision of the two chapters is an issue beyond the bounds of that process. Att. Gen. Op. 97-6.
