(1) The extent to which any information required to be furnished to the reviewing committee pursuant to § 1-26E-4 has been omitted, misstated, or refused, and the extent to which conclusions reasonably drawn from the information are adverse to the legislative intent inherent in the powers, duties, and functions as established in the enabling legislation creating the state agency, or is inconsistent with present or projected public demands or needs;
(2) The extent to which statutory changes have been recommended which would benefit the public in general as opposed to benefiting the state agency;
