BILL NUMBER: S4725 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to eliminating unconstitutional language relating to the pre-audit of expenditures from the state insurance fund by the state comptroller PURPOSE : This bill eliminates unconstitutional language relating to the pre-audit of expenditures from the state insurance fund by the state comptroller.

The amendment eliminates unconstitutional language relating to the pre-audit of expenditures from the State Insurance Fund ("Fund") by the State Comptroller and makes it clear that there can be no exemption from the State Comptroller's constitutionally mandated pre-audit authority and therefore, the payments made from the Fund are subject to such constitutionally mandated authority. Section 2 of this bill states that this act would take effect
