The State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive, and Transparent Government Act (SMART Act) was adopted in 2010 by House Bill 10-1119. This bill established a performance-based budgeting program. In 2013, House Bill 13-1299 updated the requirements for state agencies, the Office of the State Auditor (OSA), and joint legislative committees. Senate Bill 19-252 made additional modifications to the law. This issue brief provides an overview of the requirements and responsibilities in the current SMART Act.
