Summary
The Joint Legislative Audit Committee approved a six‑item consent calendar comprising audits ranging from kindergarten oral health to wildfire management at Chino Hills State Park. The committee approved the package by roll call before continuing to contested items on the agenda.
The Joint Legislative Audit Committee approved six audit requests on the consent calendar, clearing several lower‑controversy items at the start of its hearing. The consent package included requests to audit: the 2025 kindergarten oral health assessment; infrastructure management at the California Institution for Men; Los Angeles fire prevention and response; California Community Colleges financial aid and enrollment; wildfire management at Chino Hills State Park; and operations at the Los Angeles County Public Health Chiquita Canyon Landfill.
The motion to approve the consent calendar was moved and seconded and carried on a roll call with multiple "aye" votes from both chambers. The chair announced the consent calendar was approved and the committee then returned to more contested audit requests on the agenda.
Why this matters: Approving routine audits on consent lets the committee focus time on contested or high‑profile requests. The approved audits will proceed to the State Auditor’s Office for scoping and scheduling.
