47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that a significant amount of moneys that have been appropriated to state agencies for specific programs remain unused in numerous funds. For example, Report No. 20-08, submitted by the state auditor on May 20, 2020, revealed that approximately $483,600,000 in excess moneys across fifty-seven special and revolving funds was available for transfer without adversely affecting the programs supported by those accounts. The legislature further finds that more rigorous oversight is required to reduce this waste in state agencies and programs. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to require the department of accounting and general services to review all expenditures out of funds in the state treasury. SECTION 2. Section 26-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows: "(b) The department shall: (1) [Preaudit and conduct] Exercise oversight over expenditures made by state agencies by: (A) Preauditing and conducting after-the-fact audits of the financial accounts of all state departments to determine the legality of expenditures and the accuracy of accounts; and (B) Reviewing all expenditures out of funds in the state treasury; (2) Report to the governor and to each regular session of the legislature as to the finances of each department of the State; (3) Administer the state risk management program; (4) Establish and manage motor pools; (5) Manage the preservation and disposal of all records of the State; (6) Undertake the program of centralized engineering and office leasing services, including operation and maintenance and lease buyback processing pursuant to subsection (d) of public buildings, for departments of the State; (7) Undertake the functions of the state surveyor; (8) Establish accounting and internal control systems; (9) Under the direction of the chief information officer, provide centralized computer information management and processing services; (10) Establish a program to provide a means for public access to public information and develop an information network for state government; and (11) Assume administrative responsibility for the office of information practices." SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
