Who We Are

The Little Hoover Commission is a bipartisan, independent state body that promotes efficiency and effectiveness in state programs.  Created in 1962, the Commission is formally named the Milton Marks "Little Hoover" Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy.  As a member of the Assembly, former Senator Milton Marks authored legislation creating the Commission.

The Commission is modeled after a federal commission created in 1947 to address the growth of government, chaired by former President Herbert Hoover.  The federal panel became known as the “Hoover Commission”, while the California panel has become known as the “Little Hoover Commission.”
