Bill > S0324

This bill establishes the Joint Government Oversight and Accountability Committee, a new bipartisan committee composed of four members from the House of Representatives and four from the Senate, tasked with independently examining and investigating matters of significant public concern within State government to ensure accountability and proper execution of legislative intent. The bill also modifies the process for submitting periodic reports to the General Assembly by changing the default submission date to November 15 and requiring these reports to be published online, while also directing the Agency of Administration to review and recommend improvements to the State's grant processes, including simplifying applications, reducing reliance on certain types of agreements, and improving payment timelines, with a report due by December 15, 2026.
