The bill mandates the state auditor to enhance transparency by providing public access to information regarding payments made to vendors. Specifically, it requires the state auditor to make available for public inspection and download on their official website details of all payments made to vendors for the past five fiscal years. This information must include the payment date, vendor name, state agency, total amount paid, and a description of the payment. Furthermore, payments must be posted on the website within thirty days of being made, ensuring timely access to this financial data.

The provisions of this act will apply to all payments made by the state auditor starting July 1, 2024, with the act itself becoming effective on the same date. This initiative aims to promote accountability and transparency in government spending by allowing the public to easily access information about vendor payments.
