Bill > SF0062

This bill mandates the reorganization of the public funds division of the state Department of Audit, transferring its functions to the legislature by July 1, 2027, provided the legislature approves a reorganization plan. This plan, to be jointly prepared by the directors of the Department of Audit and the Legislative Service Office, must ensure the continued operation of other divisions within the Department of Audit and outline how the legislature will handle the administrative duties currently performed by the public funds division, potentially including the creation of a separate legislative audit office. The plan will also detail necessary statutory and regulatory changes, the transfer of personnel, equipment, and funds, and any other relevant issues. The directors must submit this plan by July 1, 2026, making it publicly available and holding public hearings before the 2027 legislative session, during which the legislature can introduce legislation to enact the reorganization. Until July 1, 2027, the Department of Audit's duties and powers will remain unchanged, and its existing rules and regulations will stay in effect until amended by the management council after legislative approval of the reorganization plan.
