Office of the Legislative Auditor - Program Evaluation Division

Works in Progress

On April 28, 2025, the Legislative Audit Commission (LAC) Evaluation Subcommittee selected seven evaluation topics to recommend to the full LAC for approval. The LAC will approve the final list of program evaluation topics at a later date.

In the interim, OLA has started work on the following four of the seven recommended evaluation topics:

1. Minnesota Department of Health: Nursing Home and Assisted Living Facilities Licensing
2. Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program (WQCP)
3. Office of Ombudsperson for Families
4. Voter Registration System (with an Office of the Secretary of State focus)

If you have suggestions or comments related to these evaluation topics, you may submit them here.

The LAC Evaluation Subcommittee also recommended the following three evaluation topics. If approved by the full LAC, OLA will start work on these topics later this year or early next year.

1. Board of Animal Health (BAH) Oversight of Companion Animals
2. Implementation of Automatic Voter Registration (with a Department of Public Safety focus)
3. Minnesota Board of Public Defense
