Expands SCI investigatory powers and duties.
This bill transfers the investigative responsibilities of the Office of the State Comptroller (specifically, investigations into public corruption, waste, and fraud) to the State Commission of Investigation (SCI). The SCI, which already handles public corruption investigations, will now consolidate these duties alongside its existing authority under state law. This change eliminates overlapping oversight by combining investigative functions into one agency with a proven track record, while the Comptroller retains its core audit and Medicaid oversight roles. The bill amends existing statutes to formally redirect these investigative duties to the SCI, aiming to streamline oversight and leverage its specialized expertise.
