• Provides funds for the State Elections Board to convert and implement a system for electronically reporting and accessing election campaign finances, as recommended by a Governor's blue ribbon commission on campaign reform.
• Creates a small section within the Department of Administration to conduct performance audits and increase financial auditing of state agencies.
The budget I am signing today covers the last full biennium of the twentieth century. It builds on our past successes and points us toward a promising future.
Respectfully submitted,
TOMMY G. THOMPSON
Governor
