Comparison of actual expenditures in forecasted programs to projected spending from prior forecasts required, notice to legislative auditor when actual expenditures deviate required, other budget oversight and accountability provisions modified, and money appropriated.

Summary

The bill makes the Legislative Auditor compare what human services programs actually spend to what was projected in prior forecasts. If spending deviates by a set amount, the commissioner must notify the auditor, and the auditor may audit the program or accept the commissioner’s explanation. Repeated or large deviations can lead to automatic cancellation of the forecasted program and must be reported to key legislative committees.
