Reestablishes the government efficiency commission (which expired January 1, 2005) until January 1, 2006, and directs the commission to make recommendations to the governor concerning the advisability of continuing or modifying all boards and commissions. (This is, apparently, what remains of the Governor’s initial attempt to eliminate all boards and commissions and transfer their power directly to his office.) Directs the governor to review the recommendations and submit those that will improve the efficiency and operation of state government to the legislative council for its review.
