SB 545 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

State Auditor to Audit General Assembly.

SB 545 requires the North Carolina State Auditor to regularly review the financial operations of the state legislature (General Assembly). This procedural bill directly affects the General Assembly by mandating periodic financial audits of its own spending and administration. The key provision amends state law to explicitly add "auditing the General Assembly" to the Auditor's responsibilities under G.S. 147-64.6(c). It does not change laws for citizens or create new policies, only establishing a routine financial review process for the legislature itself. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Rules committee.
