Resolve, Directing The State Auditor To Audit All State Agencies

This bill (LD 594) requires Maine's State Auditor to conduct comprehensive audits of all state agencies and compile a detailed report for each. The report must include current and historical data on employee counts (including new hires over 5-20 years), budget figures (current, projected, and growth), agency roles and responsibilities, project scopes (current, completed, and incomplete over time), and each agency's budget percentage of the total state biennial budget. The State Auditor must submit this report to the Legislature's appropriations committee by November 4, 2026. The bill directly affects all state agencies by mandating transparency in their staffing and financial operations.
