If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $2,000,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically for the Auditor General to acquire software intended for conducting audits of state agencies and school districts. This new funding is aimed at enhancing the operational capabilities of the Auditor General's Office, which is responsible for overseeing the financial and performance audits of various government entities.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the existing laws regarding the lapsing of appropriations, ensuring that the allocated funds remain available for use in the specified fiscal year without the risk of being returned to the General Fund. This change aims to provide the Auditor General with the necessary resources to effectively perform its auditing functions without the constraints typically associated with appropriated funds.
