S1757-2013 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S1757

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
providing for the elimination of burdensome reporting requirements
imposed on school districts and local governments

PURPOSE:
Provides for the elimination of certain reporting requirements imposed
on school districts and local governments.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Any provision of statute or regulation that requires a
local government of school district to submit a report to a state
agency or authority shall expire and be deemed repealed on April 1,
2014; provided, however, that all provisions of such statutes and
regulations other than such specific reporting requirements shall be
unaffected by the repeal of such reporting requirements and remain in
full force and effect.

Section 2- Requires that every state agency and authority shall
prepare and submit to the mandate relief council, on or before
December 31, 2013, a report that identifies each report it receives
from local governments and school districts, explains the agency's or
authority's
need for the report, makes a recommendation to eliminate or continue
the reporting requirement and where the recommendation is to continue
the reporting requirement, makes additional recommendations including
but not limited to the secure electronic transmission of data
directly to state agencies and authorities to reduce the burden the
reporting requirement imposes on local governments and school
districts.

Section 3- Contains the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
Under current law and regulation there are many outdated and
unnecessary reporting requirements made on local governments and
school districts. This bill would require that a state agency or
authority that requires such report justify the need for the report.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2012 S. 7768-A Passed Senate

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:; None

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
