(a) In its report on a state agency, the commission shall:
(1) make recommendations on the abolition, continuation, or reorganization of each affected state agency and its advisory committees and on the need for the performance of the functions of the agency and its advisory committees;
(2) make recommendations on the consolidation, transfer, or reorganization of programs within state agencies not under review when the programs duplicate functions performed in agencies under review;
(3) make recommendations to improve the operations of the agency, its policy body, and its advisory committees, including management recommendations that do not require a change in the agency's enabling statute;
(4) make recommendations on the continuation or abolition of each reporting requirement imposed on the agency by law; and
(5) after consulting the Legislative Budget Board, make recommendations to improve the agency's key performance measures through the addition, amendment, or removal of the performance measures and related targets, including those listed in the General Appropriations Act.
(b) The commission shall include the estimated fiscal impact of its recommendations and may recommend appropriation levels for certain programs to improve the operations of the state agency, to be forwarded to the Legislative Budget Board.
(c) The commission shall have drafts of legislation prepared to carry out the commission's recommendations under this section.
(d) After the legislature acts on the report under Section 325.010, the commission shall present to the state auditor the commission's recommendations that do not require a statutory change to be put into effect.
