Plain Language Summary

This bill requires state entities—including UNC, principal state departments, courts, and the General Assembly—to publicly report all expenditures of $1.00 or more for property and services on a monthly basis. The Department of Administration and court/legislative websites must publish these itemized reports within 10 days, while protecting records that are confidential under state or federal law.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters argue this bill increases government transparency and allows citizens to see how tax dollars are spent.
• •It promotes accountability by making state spending data publicly accessible and helps legislators and taxpayers identify wasteful spending or unnecessary expenses across state government.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents may argue the requirement creates significant administrative burden and cost for state agencies to collect and report every expenditure down to $1.00.
• •They may also express concerns about privacy, cybersecurity risks from publishing detailed spending data, or that the reporting timeline is too tight for accurate compilation of information.
