entities, including the State Library, where reports are
required to be available for public inspection.
FISCAL EFFECT: According to the Senate Appropriations
Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.
COMMENTS: This bill requires state agencies to post SLAA
reports on their Web sites within five days of finalization.
These reports, which are due by the end of each odd-number
calendar year, assess an agency's systems of internal controls
and monitoring practices.
State agencies are currently required to submit SLAA reports to
the Legislature, State Auditor, Controller, Department of
Finance (Finance), the Secretary of Government Operations, and
to the State Library where they must be available for public
inspection.
Senate amendments incorporate language in SB 84 (Budget and
Fiscal Review Committee), Chapter 25, Statutes of 2015, a budget
trailer bill, which change the name of the Financial Integrity
and State Manager's Accountability Act of 1983 (FISMA) to SLAA.
