A new state commission has held its first meeting to establish the Office of Inspector General. This independent agency is the result of legislation described as the most significant anti-fraud measure in recent history. The commission, made up of House and Senate members, includes House member Rep. Ginny Klevorn. The meeting marks the beginning of the process to set up the Office of Inspector General after more than a year of debate.

Further details about the commission and its work are available. The establishment of the Office of Inspector General follows the signing of a bill creating the agency.

The Legislative Inspector General Advisory Commission is responsible for overseeing the setup of the new office.
