The Government Operations and Audit Committee's ability to issue subpoenas now requires approval from the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council before the subpoena takes effect. The bill also clarifies the committee's existing powers to examine state government records, summon witnesses, and obtain documents, while establishing that the committee can use the enforcement procedures in state law if someone refuses to comply with a subpoena.
