Legislative Post Audit Committee approves LPA budget, selects Board of Veterinary Examiners for IT audit and approves consent calendar
Summary
The committee reviewed and approved the Legislative Division of Post Audit’s revised 2026 budget and 2027 request; it also selected the Board of Veterinary Examiners as the primary additional IT security audit and the Dental Board as backup, and accepted the meeting’s consent calendar containing three performance audits.
The Legislative Post Audit Committee reviewed and approved the Legislative Division of Post Audit’s revised 2026 budget and its requested 2027 budget during an open session vote.
Budget approval
Chris (LPA staff) presented a memo and table showing the revised 2026 budget and the 2027 request, both designed to fully staff the agency. The revised 2026 budget was within appropriation and LPA staff said the agency expected a lapse (surplus) that would revert to the state general fund; remaining funds would be applied to contractor needs in 2027. Representative Tyson moved to approve the budget and a second was recorded; the committee approved the motion by voice vote and the chair announced "motion carries." The motion did not include a recorded roll call.
Other formal actions
- The committee voted to select the Board of Veterinary Examiners as the primary additional IT security audit and the Dental Board as the backup audit. The chair moved to select the Board of Veterinary Examiners and the motion passed by voice vote. Senator Petty moved and Representative Sawyer seconded the backup selection of the Dental Board; that motion also carried.
- The committee conducted a procedural vote to use the same process for the post auditor’s annual performance evaluation (a survey administered by Legislative Administrative Services). Representative Sawyer moved to adopt the same process; the committee approved the motion by voice vote.
- The committee moved into a closed executive session to discuss the Board of Nursing information‑security matters pursuant to KSA 75‑4319 (motion by Senator Thompson). The motion included the statutory justification and listed non‑committee attendees who would remain for the executive session; the motion carried and the committee recessed into executive session.
Consent calendar and minutes
LPA staff presented a consent calendar that included three items: (1) approval of minutes from the July 21 meeting, (2) acceptance of the performance audits presented that day (the school‑district accounting access controls audit, the HPIP/KAHTC audit, and the IT security audit discussed in executive session). The minutes were approved with two members abstaining from the minutes vote (Representative Sutton and Representative Clayton said they were not present at the referenced meeting). No committee members objected to the consent calendar; the chair recorded the consent items as approved.
Ending
Committee staff will transmit the approved LPA budget through the normal legislative budget channels and will continue scheduled follow‑up and monitoring work. Several committee members requested CADOR provide corrected HPIP data when available and KHRC to supply detailed project information as developments reach occupancy.
