AN ACT REQUIRING A LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND INFORMATIONAL HEARING CONCERNING THE MOST RECENT AUDITORS' REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES.

HB 6066 requires the Department of Developmental Services to submit a report to the legislature detailing how it is addressing findings from the 2021-2022 audit by the Auditors of Public Accounts. The bill also mandates an informational hearing by the government oversight committee to examine specific areas, including delays in mortality reviews, documentation of abuse investigations, and monitoring of workers' compensation light-duty assignments. The hearing will assess internal controls needed to fix audit shortcomings and determine if leadership or staff negligence contributed to issues. This bill directly affects the Department of Developmental Services and its oversight by the legislature, focusing on accountability for audit findings.
