The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16A.057, subdivision 5, to enhance accountability and transparency regarding the actions taken by state agencies in response to findings from the Office of the Legislative Auditor. It requires the commissioner to review audit reports and address any internal control issues identified. Additionally, the commissioner is mandated to submit an annual report by January 15 to the relevant legislative committees, detailing the actions taken in response to the legislative auditor's recommendations.

The new legal language specifies that the report must include a comprehensive list of the auditor's recommendations, along with a detailed description of the actions taken, an assessment of the completion status of each recommendation, explanations for any incomplete actions, the work required to finalize responses, and a timeline for completion. This structured reporting aims to ensure that legislative auditors' findings are adequately addressed and that there is a clear understanding of the progress made by state agencies in implementing necessary changes.
