Michigan Senate receives Auditor General performance audits; referrals sent to oversight committee
Summary
The Michigan Senate received multiple performance audit reports from the Office of the Auditor General covering OSHA at the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and three correctional facilities; the audits were referred to the committee on oversight for review.
The Michigan Senate received several performance audit reports from the Office of the Auditor General during a brief session, the presiding secretary announced. The reports include reviews of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration within the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and performance audits for the Baraga Correctional Facility, the Richard A. Hanlon Correctional Facility and the Ionia Correctional Facility, all within the Michigan Department of Corrections.
A Senate staff member read the communications into the record, stating, “Mister president, the senate has received from the office of the auditor general the following communications performance audit report on the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, and the performance audit report on the Baraga Correctional Facility, Michigan Department of Corrections.” The presiding secretary then said the audits were referred to the committee on oversight pursuant to Senate rules.
The referral means the committee on oversight will be responsible for scheduling review, requesting staff analysis, and determining any next steps such as hearings or recommendations to the full Senate. The transcript does not specify any timetable for committee action or whether the audits contain recommendations requiring immediate response.
