The bill proposes a legislative management study to assess the feasibility of establishing a government spending database during the 2025-26 interim. The study will focus on various aspects, including the necessary training for school board members and administrators, as well as the compilation of detailed expenditure information such as payment amounts, dates, recipient names, and employee positions. Additionally, it will explore the potential for a database that offers search capabilities, data aggregation tools, and regular updates, while ensuring compliance with standardized categorization codes.

To support this initiative, the bill includes an appropriation of $97,000 from the general fund for the legislative council to hire a consultant to assist with the study. This funding is designated as one-time funding for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027. The legislative management is tasked with reporting its findings and any necessary legislation to the seventieth legislative assembly.
