DEQ proposes statutory cleanup to allow flexible program deployment
Summary
Executive Director Chris Wells told the committee SB 2761 removes a statutory reference to a specific office within the agency so DEQ can deploy programs and staff where most efficient; the committee voted to report the bill.
Executive Director Chris Wells explained SB 2761 as a departmental efficiency measure. "The idea is to just remove the specific reference to that specific office and allow me the flexibility to deploy programs and people where most efficient," Wells said, framing the change as administrative flexibility rather than a substantive policy shift.
Committee members had no additional questions and voted to report the bill out of committee. The sponsor characterized SB 2761 as part of ongoing efforts to streamline agency administration.
