Compiled Laws, Chapter 36. Michigan Veterans' Facility § 36.112

Sec. 12. (1) The authority shall annually file a written report on its activities of the immediately preceding year with the governor, each house of the legislature, and the chairperson of the appropriations subcommittee of each house of the legislature that has jurisdiction over military and veterans' affairs. This report shall be submitted not later than 90 days following the end of the fiscal year. This report shall specify all of the following:

(2) If the authority indicates that a veterans' facility will likely be opening in the next fiscal year under subsection (1)(a), then the authority shall file a supplemental report on its activities every 90 days until the veterans' facility is open and operational. The supplemental report shall be filed with the governor, each house of the legislature, and the chairperson of the appropriations subcommittee of each house of the legislature that has jurisdiction over military and veterans' affairs not later than 60 days following the 90-day period covered in the supplemental report. The supplemental report shall specify all the items described in subsection (1)(a) to (g).

(3) The accounts of the authority shall be subject to annual audits by the state auditor general or a certified public accountant appointed by the auditor general. However, for the first 4 years of the authority's existence, the auditor general shall conduct a financial audit for the first year and biennially thereafter and shall conduct a performance audit for the second year and biennially thereafter. After the initial 4-year period of the authority's existence, the auditor general shall perform a performance audit if a veterans' facility receives a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services survey finding that indicates a substandard quality of care as defined in 42 CFR 488.301, upon request by either house of the legislature, or as otherwise determined by the auditor general. Records shall be maintained according to generally accepted auditing principles.
