TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE OFFICE OF INTERNAL AUDIT; AND TO REPEAL THE REQUIREMENT FOR AN ANNUAL PROJECT REVIEW AND EFFICIENCY STUDY OF THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
SB 562 amends the law concerning the Office of Internal Audit in Arkansas. It repeals the existing requirement for the Office of Internal Audit to conduct an annual project review and efficiency study of the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT). This study previously involved reviewing ARDOT's processes, procurement, projects, and expenditures. Consequently, the bill also eliminates the requirement for the study's results to be reported annually to the Legislative Council.
