to review by the legislative auditor. Present law provides for submission to the legislative auditor
of sworn financial statements and filing of engagement agreements by certain local auditees or quasi-
public agencies.
Present law further provides that no funds appropriated in the general appropriations act, the capital
outlay act, or other appropriation act, shall be released or provided to any recipient of an
appropriation if, when, and for as long as, the recipient fails or refuses to comply with present law.
Proposed law prohibits public entities not in compliance with present law from letting any public
contract that utilizes any state funds, whether received through direct appropriation or through
transfer from another public entity, or whose funding relies upon the full faith and credit of the state.
