SB 176 expands the Government Operations and Audit Committee's investigative powers by allowing it to use civil court discovery procedures—like depositions, written questions, and document requests—in addition to its existing ability to subpoena witnesses and examine records. The bill also allows the committee to delegate these investigative and discovery powers to individual committee members or other designated individuals, provided that any subpoena is first approved by the Legislative Research Council's Executive Board.
