74-7284. Declaration of purpose of state government and intention of act. The legislature hereby declares that the purpose of state government is to keep secure the constitutional rights of Kansas citizens, to protect their health, safety and welfare, and to otherwise serve the public need in the most economically beneficial, operationally efficient, and cost effective manner possible. Therefore, it is the intention of K-GOAL to provide for a governmental operations accountability system under which the legislature may ensure accomplishment of the declared purpose of state government by periodically reviewing and evaluating the operations of selected state agencies or programs, determining the necessity, propriety and legality of the operations reviewed and evaluated, identifying inefficiency and ineffectiveness, and taking action to retain and maintain appropriate and effective governmental operations, remediate defective governmental operations, and terminate inappropriate or obsolete governmental operations.
