§ 129800 Fee Use Audit

Key Takeaways

  • •The boss (director) must ask the money people (Department of Finance or Auditor General) to check how fees are being used.
  • •The check must include counting how many workers are used for checking hospital plans, since those checks are paid for by the fees.
  • •If the money people are too busy and can't finish the check in 6 months, the boss can hire someone else to do the check.

Example

Imagine you pay a fee every time you go to a public hospital. The government collects this money and says they will use it to check if hospitals are safe.

This law says someone has to check if the government is really using your fee money to check hospitals. They have to count how many people are working on these checks. If the usual checkers are too busy, they can hire someone else to do the checking.

§ 129800 Fee Use Audit

The director shall request the Department of Finance or the Auditor General to perform an audit of the uses of fees collected pursuant to Section 129785. This audit shall include, but not be limited to, an accounting of staff resources allocated to hospital plan reviews by the department and by the Office of the State Architect in the Department of General Services since these reviews are funded by fees collected pursuant to Section 129785. If the Department of Finance and the Auditor General indicate that other audit responsibilities will prohibit them from performing and completing the audit within six months of being initially requested to do so, then the department may contract with an independent organization to perform the audit. (Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 143, Sec. 292. (AB 133) Effective July 27, 2021.)
