The primary responsibilities of those boards are to evaluate the performance of departments or agencies of State Government, recommend policies and procedures to the Governor and Legislature for adoption, serve in an advocacy capacity for a specific group or sector of the population or hold hearings for the evaluation of policies and issues.
