Sunset Commission

The Sunset Commission is a government entity that reviews state agencies and programs to ensure they are effective, efficient, and necessary. It conducts periodic evaluations, often every 12 years, and can recommend modifications, continuation, or termination of agencies. This process helps prevent waste, improves performance, and ensures public resources are used responsibly. The commission's findings are presented to the legislature, which then decides on the future of the agency based on the review. Overall, it functions as a watchdog to promote accountability and good governance within state government.
