Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Resources to create the Office of Inspector General within the Department of Health and Human Resources.

Memorandum
The Department's current structure includes an Office of Inspector General (OIG) that provides impartial evaluation, investigation and reporting, to ensure the integrity of department programs and operations. Requiring the Secretary to create something that is already in place would not result in any increase or decrease in costs or revenues.
