Financial Audit Division | January 2025 |
We concluded that the Department of Public Safety complied, and the Judicial Branch generally complied, with the significant finance-related legal requirements we tested. We identified some specific instances of noncompliance related to sales and use tax at the Judicial Branch.
We did not conclude on whether the Ignition Interlock Device Program is effective in reducing recidivism and increasing public safety. However, we present data regarding impaired driving incidents, participant compliance with program requirements, and alcohol-related crashes, all of which can be factors in evaluating the effectiveness of the program.
The Judicial Branch did not pay sales or use tax as required on 70 percent of the services related to the Ignition Interlock Device Program. (p. 10)
