SB 155 strengthens the Government Operations and Audit Committee's ability to investigate state government by allowing it to take depositions, issue written questions, and request documents—similar to how civil lawsuits work—and requires people to preserve materials related to these investigations. The bill also adds penalties for those who knowingly refuse to comply with the committee's subpoenas or investigative requests by the deadline.
