How are entities selected for review?
The Government Oversight Committee determines all entities to be reviewed and approves OPEGA’s annual work plan by a majority vote. Suggested projects from any source must come through the committee. Proposed reviews for committee consideration may be suggested by legislators, legislative staff, presiding officers, state agencies, and public interest. The committee may also consider topics from a criteria-based risk assessment performed biennially by OPEGA and the committee. The work plan also provides for OPEGA rapid response reviews if a matter meets committee criteria for immediate investigation and the committee directs the review by a super majority vote.
