Legislative Oversight Mechanisms

Ongoing oversight by legislative committee(s) or commission(s); interim charges; legislative program reviews or performance audits; legislative review of non-legislative program reviews or performance audits; reporting requirements; legislative requests for information.

Legislative Program Evaluation Office

Office of Performance Evaluations. The Legislature may request that this office conduct an evaluation of a state agency or program. In 2008, for example, the Legislature requested a comprehensive review of the ITD (House Concurrent Resolution No. 50). Also, the Legislative Audits Division of the Legislative Services Office must conduct a full audit of all state agencies every three years.

Sunset Review

Sunset clauses have been enacted only for selected programs or legislation, not for ITD per se.
