(Sacramento) California has over one thousand boards and commissions, many more than any other state in the nation. California Assemblymember Alyson Huber-(El Dorado Hills) wants to consolidate those agencies and make state government more transparent. She co-authored legislation, Senate Bill 63, which abolishes the California Integrated Waste Management Board and transfer its duties to another agency, in an effort to streamline state government.

(Sacramento) Assemblymember Alyson Huber (D-El Dorado Hills) says the state needs to be more efficient when it comes to special boards and commissions so shes authored Assembly Bill 579. Assemblymember Huber says, "To ensure that state boards and commissions are neither performing superfluous tasks nor providing excessive salaries with taxpayer funds, the state must develop a process to provide an independent, non-partisan assessment of their activities and the salaries paid to appointees." AB 579 will require the State Auditor (SA) to annually audit the workload of at least two boards and commissions to which the state pays an annual salary for the services of the members.
