To promote the legislatively determined, joint, and Commission processes and to provide the necessary information to assess their success, the Commission and Finance should inform local entities of these processes by making information about the alternatives readily available on their Web sites.

1-Year Agency Response

In September 2010 the governor approved Chapter 699, Statutes of 2010, requiring that the Commission’s semiannual report to the Legislature include information on the status of mandates being developed under joint and Commission processes, and any related delays in their development. The Commission also added information about alternative processes to its Web site. (See 2011-406, p. 53).
