House confirms Kevin White as legislative auditor
Summary
The Arkansas House confirmed Kevin White as legislative auditor by voice vote after the chamber received a committee recommendation and a reading referencing Arkansas Code 10-4-405.
The Arkansas House of Representatives confirmed Kevin White as the legislative auditor by adopting House Resolution 1002, which ratified the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee’s selection.
Speaker Matthew Evans explained that White had served as deputy and assumed the duties earlier in the year following the retirement of his predecessor, Roger Norman. The clerk read language referencing Arkansas Code 10-4-405, noting the statutory authority for employing a legislative auditor and the effective dates tied to the transition. Speaker Evans told members the Senate had already confirmed White unanimously and asked the House to extend the same courtesy.
The House voted on the resolution by voice and the clerk announced the resolution had received more than the 51 votes required for confirmation. The resolution was adopted.
The resolution effectuates the House’s confirmation of the legislative auditor appointment; it does not itself create additional statutory authority beyond the committee selection and statutory citation read on the floor.
