The bill amends Section 22-13-4 of the General Laws concerning the duties of the auditor general. It introduces new definitions and clarifies the responsibilities of the auditor general, specifically requiring the auditor general to establish a performance audit schedule for all state agencies and quasi-public governmental agencies, effective January 1, 2026. The auditor general is mandated to conduct performance audits in compliance with this schedule. Additionally, the auditor general must report any agency that fails to meet the performance audit standards to the governor, the speaker of the house, and the president of the senate by January 1 of each year. This act aims to enhance accountability and oversight of public funds across state agencies. The act will take effect upon passage.
