Senate Committee Substitute

SCS/HB 1051 - This act requires the State Auditor to conduct a one-time comparative audit of 5 to 10 of the largest state agencies and each chamber of the General Assembly, by August 28, 2014. The Auditor shall issue a report containing recommendations including the optimal fiscal practices to be promoted across all state agencies and other efficiency or cost saving measures.

Currently, when law enforcement agencies use the federal forfeiture system, they are required to have an independent audit conducted at the end of the fiscal year of seizures and proceeds received. This amendment changes the practice to require an annual report of the seizures and proceeds.

This act is similar to HB 1672 (2012) and SB 323 (2011).
