Executive Summary:
The 1984 Appropriations Act specified: "The State Board of Social Services shall present a plan to reduce state mandates and regulatory requirements by January 1, 1985, to the Chairmen of the Senate Finance and House Appropriations Committees." Organizational and other preliminary work began on this study in May of 1984. Three subcommittees composed of State Board members were established to study Benefit Programs, General Administration, and Service Programs. These subcommittees were assisted in developing recommendations by state and local welfare/social service staff. These recommendations were thoroughly reviewed and individually adopted by the full Board of Social Services.
