How does the Commission differ from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the Bureau of State Audits and other organizations that analyze state programs?
The Commission’s role differs in three distinct ways from other state and private-sector bodies that analyze state programs: Unlike fiscal or performance audits, the Commission’s studies look beyond whether programs comply with existing requirements, instead exploring how programs could and should function in today’s world. The Commission’s study process serves as an opportunity for the public to provide input to the policy discourse. The Commission produces in-depth, well-documented reports that serve as a factual basis for crafting effective reform legislation. Based on its reports, the Commission follows through with legislation to implement its recommendations, building coalitions, testifying at hearings and providing technical support to policy-makers.
