The performance indicators shall reflect short-term and long-term goals and objectives of each program, be measurable, and provide guidance for internal programmatic improvement and legislative funding decisions. The commission is expected to modify these performance indicators as goals and objectives are met and new inputs to programmatic outcomes are identified.
(b) All programs funded by the tobacco settlement and established in §§ 19-12-113 — 19-12-116 shall be monitored and evaluated to justify continued support based upon the state's performance-based budgeting initiative. These programs shall be administered pursuant to a strategic plan encompassing the elements of a mission statement, defined programs, program goals with measurable objectives and strategies to be implemented over a specific timeframe. Evaluation of each program shall include performance-based measures for accountability that will measure specific health-related results. All expenditures that are payable from the Tobacco Settlement Program Fund and from each of the program accounts, therein, shall be subject to the same fiscal control, accounting, budgetary, and purchasing laws as are expenditures and obligations payable from State Treasury funds, except as specified otherwise i
