LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR: Authorizes and directs the legislative auditor to study the efficiency, financial accountability, and effectiveness of the state Supreme Court, courts of appeals, and district courts

HCR 50 is a procedural resolution directing the legislative auditor to study the efficiency, financial accountability, and effectiveness of the state Supreme Court, courts of appeals, and district courts. It does not change court operations but authorizes an independent review of how well these courts are run and managed. The resolution requires the auditor to complete this study by April 1, 2026, and report findings to the legislature. This affects state courts directly by subjecting their operations to a formal evaluation, but it does not create new laws or alter court procedures.
