    WYOMING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE OFFICE ISSUE BRIEF OTHER STATES’ LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL PROCEDURES TRAINING August 2020 by Karla Smith, Senior Program Evaluator BACKGROUND Legislative Service Office staff presented an issue brief summarizing fiscal procedures training for Wyoming local government and political subdivision fiscal officers to the Management Audit Committee during its January 2020 meeting.1 The Committee requested further information regarding other states’ statutory requirements for fiscal procedures training for local government and special district clerks and treasurers. This issue brief examines the statutory requirements of Wyoming and nine comparator states regarding local government training in fiscal procedures. WYOMING Wyoming statutes do not require local government fiscal officers to complete state fiscal procedures training, but do require the State Auditor and the State Treasurer to provide voluntary education programs: To enhance the background and working knowledge of political subdivision treasurers in governmental accounting, portfolio reporting and compliance, and investments and cash management, the state auditor and the state treasurer shall conduct voluntary education programs for persons elected or appointed for the first time to any office or as an employee of any political subdivision where the duties of that office or positions of employment include taking actions related to investment of public funds and shall also hold annual voluntary continuing education programs for persons continuing to hold those offices and positions of 1 Wyoming LSO Issue Brief: Fiscal Procedures Training, January 2020 P a g e | 1 20IB004 • RESEARCH AND EVALUATION DIVISION • 200 W. 24th Street • Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002 TELEPHONE 307-777-7881 • EMAIL [email protected] • WEBSITE www.wyoleg.gov PAGE 2 OF 8 employment.

  • Legislative Oversight in Delaware
    Legislative Oversight in Delaware Capacity and Usage Assessment Oversight through Analytic Bureaucracies: Minimal Oversight through the Appropriations Process: Moderate Oversight through Committees: Limited Oversight through Administrative Rule Review: Minimal Oversight through Advice and Consent: Minimal Oversight through Monitoring Contracts: Limited Judgment of Overall Institutional Capacity for Oversight: Moderate Judgment of Overall Use of Institutional Capacity for Oversight: Moderate Summary Assessment Delaware appears to emphasize resolving agency performance problems rather than punishing or eliminating poorly performing programs. One element that may explain this solution-driven approach is the nature of Delaware’s general assembly itself--a small legislature with no term limits. This allows legislators to serve for long periods of time and to become better acquainted with their counterparts across the aisle, producing a more collegial environment where partisan confrontation on every issue is not always desirable. We were told that there are “a lot of relationships in a small legislature, so it is better to pick your battles than to oppose every measure.” (interview notes, 7/25/18). Major Strengths Delaware’s legislature possesses several tools to conduct oversight, foremost among them the Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee (JLOSC). This committee works with staff to conduct a very thorough review of a small number of government entities. The committee rarely eliminates these entities, although it has the power to do so. Rather it tries to determine how to improve the entities’ performance. Based on its recommendations for improvement, the committee staff and the entity help draft legislation to resolve performance problems. The emphasis the committee places on enacting legislation to resolve performance problems that it identifies ensures that oversight hearings are more than merely public scolding.
