This bill mandates the State Auditor to conduct a performance review audit of the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO) within the Department of Law and Public Safety. The audit aims to assess the VCCO's economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in utilizing available resources, as well as its compliance with relevant statutory laws and regulations. The review will encompass an analysis of the office's use of federal and state funding, an evaluation of whether the current personnel is sufficient to fulfill the office's statutory responsibilities, an assessment of the efficiency of internal operations, and recommendations for addressing any identified organizational deficiencies.

The State Auditor is required to complete the audit and submit a report summarizing the findings to both the Governor and the Legislature within six months of the bill's effective date. This initiative is intended to enhance the operational effectiveness of the VCCO and ensure that it meets its obligations efficiently and effectively.
