HB 3743 – Limits agency bloat

HB 3743 is a commonsense reform that helps rein in bureaucratic growth by capping the number of managers state agencies can employ. It applies an 11-to-1 staff-to-manager ratio across all agencies, closing loopholes that previously let some departments sidestep this efficiency standard. The bill encourages agencies to trim unnecessary managerial layers and focus resources on front-line staff who actually carry out government functions. This kind of structural reform reduces waste, improves accountability, and helps protect taxpayers from having to fund oversized administrative hierarchies. By requiring every agency to justify and limit its management hires, the bill promotes leaner, more effective government.
