Modifying joint legislative audit and review committee work plans to ensure efficient use of staff resources.

This bill amends two existing laws to improve reporting and oversight of public funds. It requires tourism-related applicants (e.g., convention bureaus, nonprofits) to submit travel estimates showing how lodging tax funds will attract visitors traveling 50+ miles or overnight, and mandates annual reports to municipalities on actual visitor numbers. It also directs the joint legislative audit committee to conduct biennial reviews of lodging tax usage and requires detailed annual reports from the employment security department on training benefits program outcomes, including participant demographics, training effectiveness, and wage impacts. These changes aim to ensure transparency and accountability in how tourism and workforce development funds are spent. The bill does not directly affect individual residents but applies to municipalities, tourism organizations, and state agencies managing these programs.
