Amends the County Auditing Law of the Counties Code. Provides that a county board must notify all county elected officials elected in or after November 2020 and newly elected countywide officials of the option for an auditor to conduct a transitional audit at the county's expense. Provides that an elected county auditor shall conduct the audit upon the request of such an official or, in a county that does not have an elected county auditor, the official may hire a qualified auditing firm. Provides that the transitional audit shall examine funds expended by the official for whom the elected official was or is taking over and report if the expended funds were consistent with the county board's financial allocations to that official.
