What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Currently, the Department of Administration (DOA) must ensure that all state agency expenditures for state operations exceeding $100, including salaries and fringe benefits paid to state agency employees, are available for inspection on a searchable Internet Web site maintained by DOA. In addition, DOA must ensure that all of the following information relating to state agency grants and contracts is available for inspection on a searchable Internet Web site: a copy of the contract and grant award; the state agency making the grant or entering into the contract; the name and address of the person receiving the grant or entering into the contract; the purpose of the grant or contract; and the amount of the grant or the amount the state agency must expend under the contract and the name of the state fund from which the grant is paid or moneys are expended under the contract. However, DOA has yet to implement these programs.
This bill requires that DOA implement these programs before July 1, 2012. In addition, the bill mandates certain time frames for state agencies to report expenditures and grants and contracts to DOA for purposes of making the information available for inspection on DOA's Internet Web site.
