An Act promoting transparency and public access in state government

This bill appropriates $1 million in state funds to cover technology, records management, and personnel costs for the governor's office, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and joint legislative operations. It amends state law to allow the state auditor to review specific administrative functions of the legislature, such as official budgets, audits, and financial settlements, while explicitly excluding legislative deliberations and other constitutional duties from such reviews. The legislation defines these administrative functions and audit procedures to ensure transparency in how legislative branches manage their finances and operations.
