The bill amends the law regarding the Office of Internal Audit by repealing the requirement for an annual project review and efficiency study specifically for the Arkansas Department of Transportation. This change eliminates the obligation for the Office of Internal Audit to conduct a comprehensive review of the department's processes, procedures, procurement, projects, appeals, and expenditures, as well as the requirement to report the findings to the Legislative Council by October 1 each year.

The specific legal language that is being deleted from current law includes the entire section that mandates the annual project review and efficiency study, along with the stipulation for reporting the results to the Legislative Council. This repeal aims to streamline the responsibilities of the Office of Internal Audit and reduce the administrative burden associated with these annual reviews.
