MR. SPEAKER:

    I move that House Bill 1001 be amended to read as follows:

SOURCE: Page 106, line 7; (11)MO100113.106. -->     Page 106, between lines 7 and 8, begin a new paragraph and insert:
SOURCE: IC 5-11-1-9; (11)MO100113.44. -->     "SECTION 44. IC 5-11-1-9, AS AMENDED BY P.L.217-2007, SECTION 2, IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2011]: Sec. 9. (a) The state examiner, personally or through the deputy examiners, field examiners, or private examiners, shall examine all accounts and all financial affairs of every public office and officer, state office, state institution, and entity.
    (b) An examination of an entity deriving:
        (1) less than fifty percent (50%); or
        (2) at least fifty percent (50%) but less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) if the entity is organized as a not-for-profit corporation;
of its disbursements during the period of time subject to an examination from appropriations, public funds, taxes, and other sources of public expense shall be limited to matters relevant to the use of the public money received by the entity.
    (c) The examination of an entity described in subsection (b) may be waived or deferred by the state examiner if the state examiner determines in writing that all disbursements of public money during the period subject to examination were made for the purposes for which the money was received. However, the Indiana horse racing commission shall be examined annually by the state board of accounts. In addition, the:
        (1) Indiana economic development corporation created by

IC 5-28-3 and the corporation's funds, accounts, and financial affairs; and
        (2) department of financial institutions established by IC 28-11-1-1 and the department's funds, accounts, and financial affairs;
shall be examined biennially by the state board of accounts.
    (d) On every examination under this section, inquiry shall be made as to the following:
        (1) The financial condition and resources of each municipality, office, institution, or entity.
        (2) Whether the laws of the state and the uniform compliance guidelines of the state board of accounts established under section 24 of this chapter have been complied with.
        (3) The methods and accuracy of the accounts and reports of the person examined.
The examinations shall be made without notice.
    (e) If during an examination of a state office under this chapter the examiner encounters an inefficiency in the operation of the state office, the examiner may comment on the inefficiency in the examiner's report.
    (f) The state examiner, deputy examiners, any field examiner, or any private examiner, when engaged in making any examination or when engaged in any official duty devolved upon them by the state examiner, is entitled to do the following:
        (1) Enter into any state, county, city, township, or other public office in this state, or any entity, agency, or instrumentality, and examine any books, papers, documents, or electronically stored information for the purpose of making an examination.
        (2) Have access, in the presence of the custodian or the custodian's deputy, to the cash drawers and cash in the custody of the officer.
        (3) During business hours, examine the public accounts in any depository that has public funds in its custody pursuant to the laws of this state.
    (g) The state examiner, deputy examiner, or any field examiner, when engaged in making any examination authorized by law, may issue subpoenas for witnesses to appear before the examiner in person or to produce books, papers, or other records (including records stored in electronic data processing systems) for inspection and examination. The state examiner, deputy examiner, and any field examiner may administer oaths and examine witnesses under oath orally or by interrogatories concerning the matters under investigation and examination. Under the authority of the state examiner, the oral examinations may be transcribed with the reasonable expense paid by the examined person in the same manner as the compensation of the field examiner is paid. The subpoenas shall be served by any person authorized to serve civil process from any court in this state. If a

witness duly subpoenaed refuses to attend, refuses to produce information required in the subpoena, or attends and refuses to be sworn or affirmed, or to testify when called upon to do so, the examiner may apply to the circuit court having jurisdiction of the witness for the enforcement of attendance and answers to questions as provided by the law governing the taking of depositions.".
    Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively.
