Legislative Oversight Mechanisms

Ongoing oversight by legislative committee(s) or commission(s); legislative program reviews or performance audits; legislative review of non-legislative program reviews or performance audits; reporting requirements; legislative requests for information. Various reports are produced by the State Comptroller as well as SCDOT at the request of the General Assembly. State law requires two annual audits of SCDOT, one by the Budget and Control Board, with copies made available to the governor and the legislative oversight committees.

Legislative Program Evaluation Office

Legislative Audit Council. The council published an audit of SCDOT in 2006 that resulted in restructuring SCDOT to place it in the governor's cabinet, setting up a legislative committee to oversee the agency, and allowing for periodic audits (S.C. Code Ann. §57-1-490).

Sunset Review

No sunset review of state agencies or programs.
