Summary

The bill establishes a new, nonpartisan office that will audit and investigate state agencies for misuse of public funds. The inspector general is appointed by the governor after a bipartisan advisory commission submits three qualified candidates, and must meet strict education and experience standards. Funding and office space are to be provided by the state to ensure the office can operate independently.
