Under the provisions Kotowski managed to get included in the budget, state agencies must improve the way they deliver services, create and maintain measures of accomplishment and employee performance, and produce yearly reports that will be posted on publicly available websites. The measure will create greater transparency, bringing wasteful practices to light and forcing reform.
