A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to government operations.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Sections 6 and 7 of Act 100, Session Laws of Hawaii 1999, as amended by Act 154, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, are repealed.
["SECTION 6. The legislature finds that
our state departments and agencies should constantly be working towards
improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our government. Improving
government operations through strategic planning can result in increased and
more effective government programs and improved coordination among different
agencies and levels of government, and optimal use of state funds and personnel.
The legislature believes that the
development of goals and objectives is essential for state departments and
agencies to determine priorities, guide their decisions, and measure the
effectiveness of their programs and services. Moreover, goals and objectives
would assist the legislature in evaluating the budgetary needs of departments
and agencies.
The legislature further finds that many of
our State's departments and agencies have not formally established goals and
objectives. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to require all departments
and agencies, except for the judiciary, to identify their goals, objectives,
and policies, to provide a basis for determining priorities and allocating
limited public funds and human resources.
SECTION 7. Except for the judiciary, every
department and agency of the State shall develop and submit to the legislature
no later than twenty days prior to the start of the regular session of 2000 and
each regular session thereafter, an annual report addressing the following:
(1) A
statement of goals, including what the department or agency hopes to accomplish
over both the short and long term;
(2) Objectives
and policies, specifically setting forth how each goal can and will be
accomplished;
(3) An
action plan with a timetable indicating how the established objectives and
policies will be implemented in one, two, and five years; and
(4) The
process that the department or agency will use to measure the performance of
its programs and services in meeting the stated goals, objectives, and
policies."]
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
