SS/SB 552 - This act authorizes the State Auditor to audit all or part of any political subdivision, upon the request of a prosecuting attorney or law enforcement agency, as part of an investigation of improper government activities. Violating provisions relating to conflict of interest and lobbying is a Class E felony if the offense involves more than seven hundred and fifty dollars in value, or if the offender has previously been found guilty of violating the conflict of interest and lobbying provisions. The act also creates the offense of official misconduct in the first degree, which is a Class E felony, and the offense of official misconduct in the second degree, which is a Class A misdemeanor. A court may enter a judgment of restitution against the offender and order the offender to pay restitution against the victim, a government entity, or a third-party payor. The act provides for the determination and enforcement of this restitution. The act is similar to SB 176 (2017). JESSI JAMES
