Expands SCI investigatory powers and duties.

This bill transfers investigative responsibilities from the Office of the State Comptroller to the State Commission of Investigation (SCI). Specifically, it moves the functions previously handled by the Inspector General (under P.L.2005, c.119) to the SCI, which already oversees public corruption, waste, and fraud investigations. The SCI will now coordinate all state-level investigations, while the Comptroller retains its core duties like Medicaid fraud oversight and audits. The change aims to eliminate overlapping oversight and leverage the SCI’s existing expertise in public accountability.
