Bill > H6

This bill enhances the work of the State Auditor by granting them access to tax returns and related documents for the purpose of auditing tax expenditures, which are defined as any provision of law that reduces tax revenue. While the State Auditor will have this access, the identity of specific taxpayers, their audit workpapers, and their tax returns will remain confidential and not be made public, adhering to government auditing standards. This access is specifically for evaluating the performance and oversight of tax expenditures by relevant agencies, not for auditing individual taxpayers.
