Bill > SB537

This bill amends existing law to clarify the duties of the department in developing, operating, and maintaining a public internet website called the "sunshine portal," which is intended to provide governmental transparency and accountability to taxpayers by hosting the state's financial information. The portal must be free, user-friendly, searchable, and accessible to the public, with specific deadlines for its creation and the electronic publication of financial data, including at a minimum, access to the state's cash balances by account or fund.
