State agencies (existing): technology, management, and budget; corrective action plans to comply with audit recommendations; require notification to oversight committees. Amends sec. 462 of 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1462).
Impact
The impact of HB 4763 is substantial as it seeks to enhance accountability and transparency in state agencies. By mandating that these agencies create corrective action plans in response to audit recommendations, the bill aims to ensure that issues identified during audits are addressed systematically. This could potentially improve the efficiency and effectiveness of state operations and instill greater confidence in the financial management of public resources.
Summary
House Bill 4763 aims to amend the Management and Budget Act of 1984 by introducing new requirements for state agencies following an audit. Specifically, upon completion of an audit, the principal executive officer of the audited agency must submit a corrective action plan to comply with the audit recommendations. This plan must be developed according to the procedures established by the state budget director and shared with various legislative committees and the executive office.
Contention
Although the bill is primarily focused on compliance and oversight, there may be potential contention regarding the additional administrative burden it places on state agencies. Some may argue that the requirements could strain resources, particularly for smaller agencies that may lack the necessary administrative capacity. Moreover, the need to keep oversight committees informed of these corrective action plans could lead to concerns about bureaucratic oversight and the potential for political influence in the management of state agencies.
