Bill Summary
This bill relates to the commencement of audits, information made available to the auditor of state, and disputes between governmental agencies. The bill strikes or repeals provisions enacted by the general assembly in 2023 Iowa Acts, chapter 103 (SF 478). Specifically, the bill strikes prohibitions on the receipt and disclosure of certain information by the auditor of state except under certain circumstances, and makes conforming changes. The bill also strikes a requirement that litigation between state constitutional and statutory offices be submitted to a board of arbitration and a requirement that a board of arbitration for disputes between state governmental agencies resolve disputes within 60 days. The bill repeals a provision defining when an audit or examination begins for the purposes of Code chapter 11 (auditor of state).
AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to how state government operates, particularly concerning audits and disputes between agencies. It removes restrictions that previously prevented the auditor of state (the state's chief financial watchdog) from accessing certain confidential information, though the auditor must still maintain confidentiality and is subject to penalties for disclosure. It also removes a specific exception that prevented the auditor from accessing a person's name or address from a reportable disease report. Additionally, the bill eliminates a requirement that disputes between state constitutional and statutory offices be resolved by an arbitration board and removes a provision that mandated such arbitration boards to settle disputes within 60 days. Finally, it repeals a section that defined when an audit or examination officially begins.
