The bill proposes revisions to the Government Accountability Act, specifically amending the definitions and requirements related to government actions. It updates the definition of "government act" to include not only the denial or issuance of permits, certificates, or licenses by a government entity but also any determination that has a pecuniary impact or imposes a requirement. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "government entity" and "local government unit," ensuring that these terms encompass various levels of government operations.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that government entities provide a written statement of authority within 3 business days when a government act is taken, replacing the previous requirement of 30 days. This statement must detail the specific legal authority for the action taken and the reasons behind it. These changes aim to enhance transparency and accountability in government operations by ensuring that citizens receive timely information regarding the legal basis for government actions that affect them.
