The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by requiring the Auditor General (OAG) to conduct performance audits of state agencies or political subdivisions that receive taxpayer funds, specifically to assess compliance with the terms and conditions associated with those funds. This new requirement would be initiated upon request from the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC). The bill also includes technical changes to the existing language, ensuring clarity and precision in the statutory text.

Additionally, the bill modifies the current statute by replacing the phrase "and" with a comma in a specific section, which pertains to the cooperation of various entities, including the Department of Transportation and county officials, with the Auditor General. This change aims to streamline the language while maintaining the obligation of these entities to provide necessary information to the Auditor General or their consultants. Overall, the bill enhances the oversight capabilities of the JLAC and the OAG regarding the use of taxpayer funds.
