HB 2228 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Requires an audit of all state departments every four years

HB 2228 mandates that all state departments, the general assembly, judiciary, and executive branch offices (including the governor's office, attorney general, and state auditor) undergo a comprehensive efficiency audit every four years. Each entity must post audit results online within 30 days and submit them to the legislature, with the state auditor coordinating the process. Entities failing to comply could face legal action initiated by the attorney general, requiring them to hire their own legal representation. This bill directly affects every major state agency and branch, focusing on transparency and accountability through regular, standardized reviews.
