SYNOPSIS

• (20-1) The System did not comply
with certain procedural requirements
established by State laws and
regulations.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

PROCEDURAL DEFICIENCIES

The Legislative Information System
(System) did not comply with certain
procedural requirements established by
State laws and regulations.

During testing, we noted the
following:

• The System did not inform the
Government Documents Section of the
State Library in writing of its
person(s) responsible for the
distribution of documents annually by
January 15 in Fiscal Year 2019, and
July 15 in Fiscal Year 2020, and
within two weeks after any changes to
the annual filing.

• The contact information for the
Legislative Ethics Commission and
Legislative Inspector General were not
listed on the website, and therefore,
not able to be translated with the
other offices of the Capitol Complex.
(Finding 1, pages 9-10)

We recommended the System inform the
Government Documents Section of the
State Library in writing of its
person(s) responsible for the
distribution of documents annually by
July 15 and within two weeks after any
changes to the annual filing. In
addition, we recommended the System
maintain the contact information for
the Legislative Ethics Commission and
Legislative Inspector General on the
website to ensure translation with the
other offices of the Capitol Complex.

The System agreed with our
recommendation.

OTHER FINDINGS

The remaining finding pertains to
weaknesses in cybersecurity programs
and practices. We will review the
System’s progress towards the
implementation of our recommendations
in our next compliance examination.
