After the overview, the Sunset Advisory Commission will send out letters to interested groups and individuals asking for comments. Visits will be made to selected agency offices, service providers, contractors, consumer groups, and others around the state who are interested in the agency. Once the evaluation phase of the review is completed, the Sunset staff publishes a report containing staff recommendations. The staff report is presented to the Sunset Advisory Commission at one of its public hearings. This allows for public input into the Sunset review process and begins the Sunset Commission's consideration of the potential changes to recommend to the Legislature in the form of Sunset legislation.
Most agencies have materials available.
You can contact a member of the Sunset Commission, especially one that represents your area of the state. You can review Sunset documents. They are made available to the public on a regular basis to keep the public informed on the progress of the review. The Sunset staff seeks input during the review at which time interested persons and organizations may voice their concerns about an agency. The Sunset Commission holds public hearings on each agency under review.
