Office of the State Inspector General created, advisory committee created, reports required, agency duties transferred, limits placed and programs prohibited from receiving public funds, conforming and technical changes made, interagency agreements provided, and money appropriated.

This bill establishes a new Office of the State Inspector General in Minnesota to oversee state government operations and investigates potential fraud or misuse reported by the public. It creates an advisory committee to support the office and requires the state legislative auditor to forward relevant public reports to this new inspector general for review. The legislation also expands the legal definition of "public official" to include the state inspector general and transfers certain duties from existing agencies to the new office. Additionally, the bill places limits on specific programs that may receive public funds and provides money to support these new functions.
