IL HR0110

Directs the Auditor General to conduct a forensic audit of all state spending, hiring, procurement, and contracts awarded from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2020 pursuant to Section 3-2 of the Illinois State Auditing Act.

Requires the Auditor General to commence the audit as soon as possible and report findings and recommendations upon completion in accordance with the Illinois State Auditing Act.

Mandates the Auditor General file complaints with the Executive Inspector General or other appropriate Inspector General upon finding any suspected waste, fraud, neglect, or abuse for further investigation.

Cites Illinois' $4.77 billion bill backlog, $4.3 billion in short-term borrowing liabilities, $6.2 billion FY21 budget deficit, and over $140 billion in unfunded pension liabilities as justification for the audit.

States the forensic audit is intended to identify corrupt practices and wasteful spending without raising additional tax revenue, following voter rejection of a graduated income tax proposal in November 2020.
