HI SB180

Establishes a risk-based selection process for the Department of Health to audit deposit beverage distributor and redemption center reports, considering factors such as transaction amounts, prior audit findings, and audit frequency.

Requires deposit beverage distributors to submit monthly distribution reports with supporting documentation including invoices, shipping documents, and point-of-sale reports to the deposit beverage container program.

Mandates the audit process include analytics and trend analyses to identify deposit beverage distributors and redemption centers with unusual fluctuations in reported data.

Requires the department to summarize audit results, assess whether enforcement actions are warranted, consider follow-up audits, and consider making public announcements of violations.

Requires all deposit beverage distributors to develop and submit an internal control process for approval to ensure accurate monthly reporting and adequate record maintenance, and to obtain independent audits for years ending in odd numbers.
