Bill > S2220

This bill aims to increase transparency for quasi-government agencies by requiring them to disclose compensation information and audit reports to the public. Specifically, the bill defines a "quasi-government agency" as a corporation that receives government support to provide public services (such as operating transportation systems, managing water infrastructure, or handling public pension information) while maintaining some independence from government branches. Under this legislation, these agencies must submit their compensation details to the state comptroller, who will then publish this information on the commonwealth's open checkbook website. Additionally, the state auditor will be required to publicly post any audits conducted of these quasi-government agencies, making their financial and operational information more accessible to citizens. This bill represents an effort to enhance governmental transparency and provide the public with more insight into how quasi-governmental organizations are using public resources and compensating their employees.
