This bill proposes to amend current statutes by requiring the Auditor General (OAG) to conduct performance audits of agencies or political subdivisions that receive taxpayer funds, specifically if requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC). The new language emphasizes the OAG's responsibility to ensure that the terms and conditions for receiving taxpayer money are being met, thereby enhancing accountability in the use of public funds.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to existing language, including the insertion of the term "joint legislative audit committee" in relevant sections and the removal of outdated references to specific entities involved in transportation funding. Overall, the updates aim to clarify the auditing process and reinforce the oversight role of JLAC in monitoring the expenditure of taxpayer resources.
