"Transparency in Government Act;" provides for establishment of State public finance website; requires certain public entities receiving State funds to establish similar website; makes an appropriation.

S 1301, the "Transparency in Government Act," requires the State Treasurer to create a searchable public website displaying detailed state government financial data, including annual expenditures (like salaries, vendor payments, and bond debt), revenues (such as taxes and grants), and bond debt information. It also mandates that public entities receiving state funds establish similar websites with comparable data. The website must include all required data for fiscal year 2013 and subsequent years, updated within 45 days after each fiscal year ends, and remain publicly accessible without charge. This bill aims to increase transparency by making government spending and revenue information readily available to the public.
