AUDIT REPORTS ISSUED BY THE AUDITOR

This act requires the Auditor to make suggestions or recommendations, to the extent allowed under governmental auditing standards, to any auditee that requests them following the issuance of a report on an audit that deemed a practice of the auditee inadequate. Furthermore, the Auditor is required to make a summary of any report on an audit and such summary shall contain a summary of any recommendations provided, if any.

This provision is substantially similar to SB 381 (2017).

MISSOURIBUYS E-PROCUREMENT SYSTEM

This act requires every department and division of the state, including the General Assembly and the offices of statewide elected officials and each executive branch appointee, to make information available to the public relating to all contracts entered into greater than $2,500 for the provision of legal services by private law firms.

This provision is identical to a provision in HB 598 (2017), substantially similar to SCS/SB 122 (2017) and a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SB 704 (2016), and similar to HB 1925 (2016) and HCS/SCS/SB 14 (2015).
