Legislative Oversight Mechanisms

Ongoing oversight by legislative committee(s) or commission(s); interim charges; legislative program reviews or performance audits; reporting requirements; legislative requests for information. The General Assembly can request reports from MDOT through the budget or legislation; make funding contingent upon submission of a report or action; or require legislative notice before an action is taken. Commissions or study groups are created by the General Assembly to look at specific issues. Individual legislators can make individual requests of MDOT at any time.

Legislative Program Evaluation Office

Office of Legislative Audits, which conducts financial and performance audits of state agencies and reports to the General Assembly.
