|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to certain audit and reporting requirements of regional |
|
|
planning commissions. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 391.0095(e), Local Government Code, is |
|
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(e) A commission shall send to the governor, the state |
|
|
auditor, [the comptroller,] and the Legislative Budget Board a copy |
|
|
of each report and audit required under this section or under |
|
|
Section 391.009. The state auditor may review each audit and |
|
|
report, subject to a risk assessment performed by the state auditor |
|
|
and to the legislative audit committee's approval of including the |
|
|
review in the audit plan under Section 321.013, Government Code. If |
|
|
the state auditor reviews the audit or report, the state auditor |
|
|
must be given access to working papers and other supporting |
|
|
documentation that the state auditor determines is necessary to |
|
|
perform the review. If the state auditor finds significant issues |
|
|
involving the administration or operation of a commission or its |
|
|
programs, the state auditor shall report its findings and related |
|
|
recommendations to the legislative audit committee, the governor, |
|
|
and the commission. The governor and the legislative audit |
|
|
committee may direct the commission to prepare a corrective action |
|
|
plan or other response to the state auditor's findings or |
|
|
recommendations. The legislative audit committee may direct the |
|
|
state auditor to perform any additional audit or investigative work |
|
|
that the committee determines is necessary. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
