The proposed bill would amend current statutes by requiring the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) to conduct a review of the Department of Law and the Attorney General's office at least every ten years, with the first review mandated by July 1, 2027. This review will encompass the programs, activities, and funds administered, prescribed, or overseen by these entities. The bill also makes technical changes to the existing language regarding the review schedule for other agencies, removing specific deadlines for previous reviews and instead focusing on the new requirement for the Department of Law and the Attorney General's office.

Additionally, the bill deletes the previous specific deadlines for reviews of the Department of Education, the judiciary programs, and the state universities, replacing them with a more flexible approach that allows JLAC to combine reviews as necessary. The overall structure of the current law remains intact, but the updates aim to enhance oversight of the Department of Law and the Attorney General's office while streamlining the review process for other agencies.
