The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1122, mandates that the Auditors of Public Accounts conduct annual performance audits of at least two Medicaid-funded programs. This requirement is established in response to a written request from the chairpersons of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees human services. The goal of this legislation is to ensure that Medicaid funds are utilized effectively in providing essential human services.
The bill introduces new legal language that emphasizes the necessity of these performance audits, thereby enhancing accountability and oversight of Medicaid expenditures. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided, indicating that this bill seeks to add to the existing framework rather than modify or remove any existing provisions.
