Bill > HR125

This Resolution formally requests the Auditor, an independent government official responsible for reviewing government programs, to conduct a performance audit of the Driver Education Program. This program is jointly managed by the Department of Transportation, which sets the overall framework, and the Department of Education, which offers courses in public schools. The audit is prompted by concerns that the program has faced challenges, including a backlog of students and limited class availability, particularly for residents on neighbor islands, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on in-person instruction. The Auditor is specifically asked to examine the program's administration, policies, and procedures, and to assess whether its activities are being carried out effectively, efficiently, economically, ethically, and equitably, with a report of findings and recommendations to be submitted to the Legislature.
