Bill follows investigations into UCOP’s role in campus-wide audits
On Oct. 2, California Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 562 into law. The bill adds wording to an existing section of California Code as well as adds a new section meant to prohibit the interference of state audits by any individual, making the act punishable by fine. A new section, 8545.6, was written into law.
“Any officer or person who fails or refuses to permit access and examination and reproduction, as required by this section, is guilty of a misdemeanor,” states Section 8545.2 of the Government Code.
