SJR G Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Legislature: committees; constitutional amendment to create a bipartisan, bicameral oversight committee to review departmental or agency audits and reports provided by the auditor general; create. Amends sec. 53, art. IV & adds sec. 55 to art. IV of the state constitution.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to create a permanent, bipartisan committee in Michigan's legislature to oversee state audits. It would require the auditor general to report audit findings directly to this 8-member committee (with equal representation from both parties and chambers) instead of solely to the governor. The committee would review audits of state departments, agencies, and the executive branch, with members appointed by legislative leaders. This change, if approved by voters, would amend Article IV of Michigan's constitution to establish this new oversight structure.
