Purpose and Intent: The purpose of this bill is to increase transparency and oversight of state agencies by requiring them to provide notice of certain consent decrees and revising provisions related to the Department of Audit.
Key Provisions:
- Requires state agencies to provide public notice and a 30-day comment period before entering into a consent decree or settlement agreement that would require the agency to take or refrain from taking certain actions

- The Department of Audit would have expanded oversight responsibilities related to these agreements
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill died on the calendar, meaning it did not receive a final vote before the legislative session ended
- If reintroduced and passed in a future session, the new requirements would take effect upon the governor's signature
