9 SECTION 2. TO ESTABLISH A PERFORMANCE AUDIT STEERING COMMITTEE; TO
10 PROVIDE FOR APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS; AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE DUTIES
11 OF AND FUNDING FOR THE COMMITTEE.
12
13 A. There is established effective July 1, 1996, the Performance Audit Steering
14 Committee consisting of twelve members. The Speaker of the House and President of the
15 Senate each shall appoint two members, and each must appoint one from the private sector.
16 The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Chairman of the Senate
17 Finance Committee each shall appoint two members, and each must appoint one from the
18 private sector. The executive Directors of the Budget and Control Board, the Legislative
19 Audit Council, and the State Reorganization Commission, shall serve as non-voting, ex-
20 officio members. The Governor shall appoint an additional member to serve as chairman of
21 the committee. Members serve for the duration of the existence of the committee and
22 vacancies must be filled in the manner of original appointment. Members receive the
23 mileage, subsistence, and per diem allowed by law for members of state boards, committees,
24 and commissions. The committee shall elect officers as it considers necessary. The
25 committee terminates on December 31, 1997.
26
27 B. The Performance Audit Steering Committee shall retain independent contractors to
28 conduct a performance audit in all aspects of state government. The performance audit must
29 focus on:
30 (1) determination of duplicate programs and services and recommending those
31 which should be eliminated;
32 (2) recommendations for streamlining of programs, policies, and procedures;
33 (3) evaluation of instances where out-of-date technologies detract from efficient
34 program performance;
35 (4) recommendations for reallocating resources for increased effectiveness in the
36 employment of governmental revenues.
37
38 C. The committee shall supervise and coordinate the work of the contractor and
39 produce an audit report which must be submitted to the General Assembly and the Governor
40 no later than the committee's termination date. The committee shall utilize the staff of the
41 House and the Senate as directed by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro
PART VI PAGE 15
1 Tempore. The committee may also utilize the staffs of the ex-offico members listed in
2 subsection A to coordinate work as directed by the committee.
3
4 D. There is created the "Taxpayer's Dividend From Good Government Fund." Any
5 demonstrated savings resulting from the decrease of appropriations or expenditures which
6 occur as a result of the implementation of the recommendations in the report must be placed
7 in the fund. The General Assembly shall determine the amount of savings. Each fiscal
8 year, the General Assembly shall appropriate the amount saved as a direct result of the
9 performance audit of state government activities in the immediately previous fiscal year.
10
11 E. Every state agency that receives state appropriations is subject to this section, except
12 that a state agency which is subject to a performance audit mandated by an act of the General
13 Assembly is not subject to the provisions of this section as long as the audit is substantially
14 similar in nature to the audit prescribed by this section and the audit report is to be completed
15 between 1996 and 1998. Each agency must cooperate fully with the committee and comply
16 with reasonable requests for information necessary to complete the audit. Any statute,
17 policy, or regulation requiring an agency to maintain confidential records does not bar the
18 committee from access to any information maintained by the agency but the committee, its
19 staff, and contractor may not disseminate any information in violation of a state or federal
20 statute.
21
22 F. The amount appropriated by the General Assembly for the Performance Audit must
23 transferred to and placed in an account titled "Statewide Performance Audit" and held
by the
24 Comptroller General to be used exclusively for and expended upon the direction of the
25 Performance Audit Steering Committee.
26
27 SECTION 3. (A) The appropriations contained in Section 1 of this Part are listed in
28 priority order beginning with Item (1) and to the extent that there are unobligated surplus
29 revenues for the Fiscal Year 1995-96 after funding all appropriations in Part V of this act,
30 each separate appropriation item or subitem in Section 1 must be funded before the next item
31 or subitem in order is paid.
32 (B) Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to this Part may be carried forward to
33 succeeding fiscal years and expended for the same purposes.
34
35 SECTION 4. Except where otherwise provided, this Part takes effect upon approval by the
36 Governor, but no appropriation in Section 1 may be paid until the Comptroller General closes
37 the state's books on fiscal year 1995-96.
