. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall regularly provide to the
Legislature information on the outcomes of department operations and
activities to allow the Legislature to better assess the performance
of the department, including both to evaluate the effectiveness of
department programs and activities, as well as to assess how
efficiently the department is using state resources.
(b) No later than January 10 each year, the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation shall provide to the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee an annual report on the outcomes of department
operations and activities specified in the supplemental report of the
annual Budget Act for the current fiscal year. At a minimum, for
each performance measurement included in the supplemental report of
the annual Budget Act for the current fiscal year, the department's
report shall include data for the three most recently ended fiscal
years, as well as establish target performance goals for each
performance measurement for the current fiscal year identified in the
supplemental report of the annual Budget Act and in the department's
long-term strategic plan, if included in the strategic plan. If
target performance goals stated in the prior department report have
not been achieved, the annual department report for the current
fiscal year shall include an explanation of why the target
performance goals were not achieved. The supplemental report of the
annual Budget Act may identify changes in the department's reporting
requirements; however, if no changes are identified in the
supplemental report of the annual Budget Act, the reporting
requirements shall be the same as those for the prior fiscal year.
(c) The department shall also post the full annual report required
by this section on its Internet Web site.
