    Establishes a 10-member Joint Legislative Study Commission on Efficiency and Cost-Savings in State Government, with five members each appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Provides for the meeting time and location, administration, support staff, and powers of the Commission. Directs the Commission to use a zero-based budgeting review process to study whether there are obsolete programs, cost-reduction opportunities in State government, and cases where existing funds can be redirected to meet new and changing demands for public services. Authorizes the Commission to require any agency to submit written information, and lists five types of information the Commission may require. Directs the Commission to make an interim report to the 2018 Regular Session of the 2017 General Assembly, and a final report to the 2019 General Assembly, including proposed legislation. The Commission terminates upon the filing of its final report, or upon the convening of the 2019 General Assembly, whichever is earlier.
