§ 2-7-101. Legislative declaration.
(1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:
(a) A multiplicity of powers, duties, and functions have been assigned to the executive branch of state government in accordance with law and have been undertaken by the executive branch on its own initiative or at the behest of the federal government;
(b) Considerations such as avoidance of duplication, cost-effective service delivery, and efficient management of state government may have been overlooked in the assignment and undertaking of said powers, duties, and functions;
(c) While the initial assignment or undertaking of powers, duties, and functions may be reasonable, the assignment or undertaking may become obsolete because of changes in the nature of the problem sought to be solved or because of the passage of time;
(d) The interests of cost-effective and expedited delivery of services, avoidance of excessive tax burdens, and better government would be served by regular analytical review of the powers, duties, and functions of executive agencies by the general assembly for the purpose of determining whether there is a public need for continued existence of such powers, duties, and functions and whether the public need would be better served by the elimination, reassignment, or expansion of said powers, duties, and functions.
