AUDITOR GEN-PERFORMANCE FINES

Amends the Illinois State Auditing Act. Provides that if, in conducting a performance audit, which includes a program audit and a management or economy and efficiency audit, the Auditor General determines that an assessment of specified performance factors indicates a significant deficiency in program performance, the Auditor General, with the concurrence of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, may impose and collect an administrative fine upon each officer and employee responsible for that deficiency. Further provides that a fine may not exceed $50,000 per individual per program found to be deficient; that the Auditor General shall follow the provisions of Article 10 (Administrative Hearings) of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent applicable; and that any fine so imposed is a personal liability of the officer or employee and shall not be reimbursed by the State or any other governmental entity.
