Bill > SB3067

This bill transfers the Office of Planning from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to the Office of the Governor, consolidating statewide planning functions under the governor's direct purview. It also establishes new operating teams within the Office of Planning focused on data collection, strategic planning, and project management to better analyze economic indicators like job creation and business relocation, and to identify key business sectors. Furthermore, the director of the Office of Planning is now required to conduct an annual review of the office's operations and submit it to the governor and legislature, ensuring ongoing evaluation and accountability for the state's long-range development and resource management efforts.
