House passes technical fix to internal audit reporting period
Summary
House Bill 23 36 passed to change the Department of Administrative Services internal audit reporting period from calendar year to the preceding fiscal year, addressing timing impracticalities in the current statute.
The Oregon House on March 10 passed House Bill 23 36, which amends state statute governing the Department of Administrative Services' (DAS) annual internal audit report by changing the reporting period from the calendar year to the preceding fiscal year.
A floor explanation described a timing problem in ORS 184.36 that required DAS to prepare a report "not later than December 31 of each calendar year" describing activities for the same calendar year, making completion and meaningful analysis impractical. The sponsor explained the bill would align the reporting period to the preceding fiscal year to allow complete information and analysis while preserving regular reporting to the legislature.
After brief remarks the clerk opened the voting system and the bill "having received the constitutional majority is declared passed," the transcript records.
Why it matters: The change is a statutory timing clarification intended to make DAS's internal audit reporting practical and analytically useful for the Legislature.
The transcript records passage; a detailed roll call tally is not printed in the provided floor record.
