Build upon the efforts of the 1996 Department of Human Services (DHS) Restructuring Task Force by developing a comprehensive proposal for transferring control of human services delivery to the local level, eliminating program duplication within DHS and between DHS and other state agencies, and reducing the amount of paperwork, red-tape, and bureaucracy to improve quality of services delivery and consumer satisfaction. Evaluate the adherence of DHS to the department's mission statement. In addition, the Task Force may consider other proposals for service restructuring, such as granting local authority for service delivery, using public institutions and facilities, feasibility of creating a separate agency for disability and rehabilitation services, and creating a "seamless" system for child day care assistance. The Task Force, may meet monthly, and may establish subcommittees which may include legislators and public members who are not members of the full Task Force. Legislators serving on a subcommittee are entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses associated with attendance at subcommittee meetings. The Task Force may hold public hearings and other meetings outside Des Moines.
