Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill proposes to allow the State Auditor, who is responsible for reviewing the government's finances, to audit the state legislature. Currently, the legislature is not subject to audits by the State Auditor, and this bill would change that by expressly granting the Auditor the authority to review the legislature's financial records and operations. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability in the state government.
