Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 1053, the language around who can conduct performance audits of major State agencies has been clarified. The term "certified fraud examiner" was removed from the qualifications list, which now focuses solely on auditors and public accountants with specific credentials. This change is significant because it narrows the pool of individuals eligible to perform these audits, potentially ensuring that only those with the most relevant expertise are involved in reviewing state agency performance.
