SB18

Senate Bill 18 amends Arkansas Code § 10-4-419 regarding the reporting requirements for improper or illegal practices identified by the Legislative Auditor. The bill mandates that the Attorney General and prosecuting attorneys must file an annual disposition report with the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee by June 30 of each year. These reports must cover any matters reported to them by the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee or Legislative Auditor that have not yet been resolved. Required report information includes the original date of the report, the amount of loss or funds involved, the current status or disposition of the matter, and other pertinent comments. This legislation aims to enhance oversight and ensure transparency regarding the state's follow-up actions on financial irregularities or legal violations.
