An Act improving government accountability

This bill amends state laws to improve transparency and oversight within the Massachusetts State Auditor's office. It primarily affects the Auditor's internal structure by removing specific deputy roles and updating the titles of remaining staff positions. The legislation also expands the Auditor's authority to review new laws and regulations for their financial impact on cities and towns, requiring agencies to share impact statements. Additionally, it clarifies the Auditor's power to request records, including electronic data, and mandates timely responses to such requests.
