JLARC I-900 Subcommittee - Public Hearing

Voters approved Initiative 900 (I-900) in the November 2005 general election which authorized the separately elected Washington State Auditor to conduct independent, comprehensive performance audits. The resulting law provides the Office of the Washington State Auditor (WA SAO) with the authority to audit any state agency, local government, or public education agency/institution. I-900 requires the Legislature to hold public hearings within 30 days of the WA SAO releasing audits of state agencies, to consider audit findings and receive public testimony.
