The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a requirement for the Auditor General (OAG) to conduct performance audits at the request of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC). Specifically, the bill would insert language mandating that the OAG perform these audits on agencies or political subdivisions that receive taxpayer funds, ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions associated with those funds. This addition aims to enhance accountability and oversight of public spending.
Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to existing language, including the removal of certain phrases that are no longer necessary. For instance, it deletes the phrase "and" from a list of entities required to cooperate with the auditor general, streamlining the text. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen the auditing process while updating the statutory language for clarity and efficiency.
