House Bill 905 |
House Author: Delisi |

Effective: 6-18-05 |
Senate Sponsor: Williams |
Previous law allowed state agencies or certain nonprofit corporations that are dedicated to the benefit of a state agency to employ a private auditor if authorized by statute or through a delegation of authority from the state auditor. House Bill 905 amends the Government Code to eliminate the reference to authorization by statute. The bill also requires contracts of constitutional and statutory state agencies outside the legislative and judicial branches, excluding the governor's office, lieutenant governor's office, and advisory committees, to include a provision that, under the direction of the legislative audit committee, an entity that is the subject of a state auditor investigation or audit must provide the state auditor access to any information the state auditor considers relevant to the investigation or audit.
