Bill Analysis

Current law in Chapter 2102 of the Government Code requires a state agency to conduct an internal audit program.

The bill would amend Chapter 531 of the Government Code by requiring the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to operate a consolidated internal audit program for the commission and each health and human services agency. The bill specifies that a reference in the act to the administrator of a state agency means the executive commissioner of HHSC with respect to a health and human services agency. The bill would require the information resources manager of a health and human services agency to report directly to the executive commissioner or a deputy executive commissioner designated by the executive commissioner.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Consolidating internal audit programs promotes government efficiency and reform. We support HB 2578.
