SB 22-061

Senate Bill 22-061, also known as part of the "SMART Government Act," requires the newly created Office of Saving People Money on Health Care to follow performance management rules set by the state. This means that this office must measure and improve how it operates to better serve the public. The bill has been signed into law, so now the health care savings office must comply with these new accountability standards as part of making government more transparent and efficient.
