On Thursday, March 26, 2015, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing on Californians’ interactions with state government. The hearing will begin at 9:30 a.m. in Room 437 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.

The Commission is reviewing the nature and quality of interactions between California state government and the public. At this hearing, the Commission will continue the conversation about how technology is changing the way the public can interact with government. The Commission will specifically explore creative efforts in other states, as well as in two California state departments, to better communicate with and provide services to the public.

The Commission will first hear from the Govstat program manager for Socrata and former policy advisor to former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley. He will discuss datadriven government tools and elaborate on Maryland’s leading government performance management initiatives. The Commission will then hear from the chief technology officer for the Utah Department of Technology Services. He will describe Utah’s eGovernment portfolio, as well as the governance, policies, funding and workforce strategies required to build it. The Commission also will hear from the legislative affairs director and the president of District Labor Council 786 for the Service Employees International Union Local 1000. They will discuss ways to engage state employees in improving operations and service delivery. The Commission additionally will hear from representatives from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, who will discuss the department’s portfolio of virtual services and describe key factors to these achievements. Finally, representatives from the Franchise Tax Board will discuss the department’s efforts to virtualize services and share lessons learned.

There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. The Commission also encourages written comments. Immediately following the hearing, the Commission will hold a business meeting in room 175 on the first floor of 925 L Street in Sacramento.
