Title

Notice of travel process, Governor urged to establish

Summary

A Senate Joint Resolution urging the Governor to establish a travel notice process to reduce costs for boards and commissions that use their own funds for travel.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, the resolution would ask the Governor to replace a pre-approval travel process with a notice-based process for out-of-state travel by boards and commissions that use their own funds. It also directs that travel-notice records be kept for at least six months and that boards/commissions arrange their own travel and notify the Governor accordingly.

Who It Affects

• Boards and commissions that fund their own out-of-state travel would switch to notifying the Governor instead of seeking pre-approval, and would handle travel arrangements themselves.
• The Governor's Office would receive and maintain records of travel notices for at least six months.

Key Provisions

• Provision 1: Urges the Governor to adopt a notice-based travel process for out-of-state travel by boards and commissions using their own funds, replacing the costly pre-approval process.
• Provision 2: Requires the Governor's Office to maintain travel-notice records for at least six months and requires boards/commissions to arrange travel and provide notice to the Governor.
