The recent amendment to Senate Bill No. 2299 expands the list of political subdivisions that the state auditor is required to audit every two years. Now, the bill explicitly includes water resource districts and the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District in this auditing process. This change is significant because it ensures greater financial oversight and accountability for these water districts, which play a crucial role in managing water resources within the state, promoting transparency and responsible governance.
