  • Mandates searchable monthly check registers on government websites containing check number, vendor name, amount, expenditure description, date, purchase order number, and budget code.

  • Specifies that audit reports must include partial amount notifications, revenue breakdowns by source (local, state, federal), expenditure separation into current operating/capital/debt service, per-resident or per-pupil calculations, and management letters.
