 In the Senate Committee on Ways and Means hearing,

Legislative Post Auditor indicated the agency no longer
oversees the audit work associated with the reports (due to
enactment of 2018 SB 260) and received no meaningful
information from the reports. No other testimony was
provided.
The Senate Committee recommended the bill be placed
on the Consent Calendar.
According to the fiscal note prepared by the Division of
the Budget on the bill as introduced, enactment of the bill
would have no fiscal effect on the state budget.
