Texas SB1427 mandates efficiency audits for state agencies to improve service delivery and resource allocation.

Texas SB1427 establishes a framework for conducting efficiency audits of state agencies. The state auditor must contract with an external auditor to evaluate the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of department operations. Audits must examine resource usage, identify cost savings, and suggest service improvements. The state auditor must submit a report to the legislature and the audited department, which must also publish the report online. Departments must develop an implementation plan for audit recommendations, including justifications for unimplemented suggestions.
