PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

Agency heads must make sure their agency delivers good government services. They must improve services so the agency meets its mission and builds trust, openness, and responsibility. Within one year after this subchapter was enacted, each agency must name a senior official (who can be the deputy head) to carry out these duties. That person must report to the head or deputy head, have real authority to make changes (especially for major service providers), coordinate and run improvement efforts, send an implementation plan when the Federal Government Service Delivery Lead asks, collect and use required data (per section 322), help agencies work together, support the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act work, and put service delivery tasks into agency plans.
