           SUMMARY  

          This bill requires the Governor's Office of Planning and  
          Research (OPR) to report to the governor and the Legislature by  
          January 1, 2012, and every two years thereafter, on the status  
          of its effort to evaluate and make recommendations on state  
          level policies to, among other things, advance statewide  
          environmental goals to ensure that all state policies conform to  
          adopted land use planning goals and programs.


           FISCAL EFFECT  

          Unknown, probably moderate costs of less then $50,000 every  
          other year for OPR to develop biannual reports.

           COMMENTS  

           1)Background  . State government is made up of many departments  
            and agencies that operate independently of each other.  In  
            order to take a more comprehensive approach to evaluating the  
            long term goals of the state and each agency, the Legislature  
            has tasked OPR with evaluating the long range plans of each  
            department and agency to ensure that these plans are  
            consistent with one another and that each plan is consistent  
            with the statewide environmental goals that have been adopted.

           2)Rationale  . This bill is intended to further the states  
            interest in ensuring that agencies are operating in a  
            concerted fashion toward meeting its longer term environmental  
            goals and correct any conflicts that may exist that prohibit  
            the state from furthering its goals
