Bill > SB428

This bill amends Section 8544.4 of the Government Code to expand the location options for the permanent office of the California State Auditor. Currently, the State Auditor's permanent office is required to be in Sacramento, but this bill would allow the office to be located either in Sacramento or within a two-mile radius of the State Capitol Building, which effectively permits the office to be in the nearby city of West Sacramento. The bill maintains the existing provision that allows the State Auditor to establish additional offices elsewhere in the state when necessary for conducting work. By authorizing the expenditure of moneys from the State Audit Fund for this expanded location option, the bill creates a technical appropriation. The change provides more flexibility in the office location while keeping the primary office close to the state government's central hub, potentially offering cost savings or improved operational efficiency for the State Auditor's office.
