Annual report on service quality

Beginning in 2026, the Georgia Technology Authority director sends an annual report on state service delivery. The report goes to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House. It is due no later than 90 days before the next regular legislative session. It covers current results and planned steps to improve services.

State and agency leads improve services

The Georgia Technology Authority director appoints a statewide service delivery lead within 180 days. Each state agency head names a lead within 180 days, who reports to the head or deputy and can be the deputy. The statewide lead sets standards, collects data, and tracks ease, access, and wait and processing times. Agency leads make and carry out 12‑month improvement plans across websites, call centers, mail, and in‑person offices and share results. The Board of Regents and University System schools are not covered.
