AI Summary
This bill requires the auditor of state, a state government official responsible for overseeing public funds, to annually create and update a list of practical, common-sense strategies that government agencies can use to spend public money more efficiently, without needing new laws. The auditor will then share these suggestions with all public entities, which are government bodies like cities, counties, and state departments, and ask them to report back on which of these best practices they are implementing. Finally, the auditor will compile an annual report that includes and analyzes the information received from these public entities, providing an overview of how effectively public funds are being used across the state.
