S.F. No. 1759 - Elimination of Redundant Department of Corrections (DOC) Performance Measures Report
 
Author: Senator Ron Latz
 
Prepared By: Chris Turner, Senate Fiscal Analyst (651/296-4350)
 
Date: February 13, 2012



 

In 2009, the Legislature mandated a performance targets report required by August 31 of each odd-numbered year.  This request was the result of DOC changing some of its performance measures that year.  Because all of the performance measures required by this report are included in the department’s biennial January performance report, and those measures have remained constant since 2009, the August report has become redundant.  This bill repeals the August report requirement.

The report cost the department approximately $8,000 to produce.  However, since no money was appropriated for the report, there is no expected savings.  Staff time will simply be devoted to other reports critical to the agency’s mission.
