Expands duties of State Auditor to include performance audits at request of legislator; establishes Performance Audit Committee, consisting of eight public members, to help conduct performance audits.

This bill requires New Jersey's State Auditor to conduct performance audits of state programs at a legislator's request, examining how efficiently, effectively, and economically programs operate. It creates an eight-member Performance Audit Committee of public experts in accounting or business to assist the auditor, appointed by legislative leaders. If the auditor deems a request unfeasible, they must provide a written explanation within 30 days, and the matter may be referred to the Legislative Services Commission for resolution. The bill updates the auditor's duties to include these non-financial reviews, aligning New Jersey's practices with other states.
