Proposes amendment to State Constitution to provide for elected State Comptroller and eliminate Office of State Auditor.
ACR 104 proposes a constitutional amendment to make the State Comptroller an elected position rather than an appointed one, while eliminating the Office of State Auditor. Currently, the State Comptroller is appointed by the Governor for a six-year term with Senate approval, and the State Auditor is appointed by the Legislature. Under this amendment, the Comptroller would be elected by statewide voters for a four-year term with a limit of two consecutive terms, becoming an independent executive branch officer. This change would consolidate the duties of both current offices into one elected position responsible for financial audits and oversight of state government operations.
