Bill summary
House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.
Changes the name of the Accountability for Taxpayer Investment Act to the Results First Framework and includes general information about the framework. The general information states the General Assembly's intent and provides that the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) may work with staff from the Pew-MacArthur Results First Initiative to implement a cost-benefit analysis model for use in crafting policy and budget decisions. The OSBM is to take this model into account in implementing the statutory changes contained in the act. The act requires the OSBM to report to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations, the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on General Government, and the Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee by April 8 and October 1, 2016, and appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to the OSBM for 2015-16.

Removes from the act the creation of the Taxpayer Investment Accountability Board, requirements pertaining to audits and the State Auditor, taxpayer remedies for noncompliance, and creation of a North Carolina Accountability Report. Makes conforming changes.
Includes a new requirement that the OSBM consult with the State Auditor, the State Controller, the State Chief Information Officer, and the Office of State Human Resources in establishing the new framework.
Removes certain information from the list of information that the framework must make accessible on a website. The removed information includes program-level information about resource allocation and performance measures as well as manager-to-employee ratios and a listing of employees.
