What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires that all executive and judicial branch state agencies submit reports on their fiscal condition and operations to the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC). Under the bill, one-quarter of all the state agencies must submit the report and appear before the JLAC each quarter. The report must report on the agency's fiscal condition and operational health, and must include agency balance sheets, an accounting of all agency expenditures exceeding $100, the number of persons employed by the agency, aggregate payroll data, and a list of all programs administered by the agency, as well as an explanation of each program and an identification of the statutory provision requiring the program. The report must further include data relating to employee salary growth and benefit costs. The report is in addition to any other reports that state agencies are currently required to prepare by law.
The JLAC cochairpersons may determine which state agencies are required to submit the report and appear before JLAC in any given quarter, but no agency may be required to appear before JLAC more than once in a fiscal year. Under the bill, the JLAC cochairpersons must provide each state agency at least 15 business days notice of its scheduled appearance before JLAC and must provide a copy of the notice to the governor and to each senator and representative to the assembly. If the chief administrative officer of a state agency is unable to appear at a quarterly meeting, the chief administrative officer must notify the JLAC cochairpersons at least 72 hours before a public notice for a committee hearing is required to be published and must attend the next quarterly meeting of JLAC.
