Bill > SB1340

This bill amends Section 41-2958 of Arizona Revised Statutes to modify the schedule and requirements for legislative audits conducted by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC). The bill maintains the existing requirement that JLAC conduct reviews of certain agencies and programs at least every ten years, using factors outlined in section 41-2954, subsection D. The key change is the addition of a new requirement for JLAC to review the Department of Law and the Attorney General's Office by July 1, 2027, including an examination of their programs, activities, and funds. The bill removes specific dated schedules for previous reviews of agencies like the Department of Education, judiciary programs, and state universities, while preserving the underlying review requirement. This modification standardizes the audit process by eliminating specific year-based targets and ensures continued legislative oversight of state agencies by mandating periodic comprehensive reviews.
