The state House is taking steps to make sure State Auditor Diana DiZoglio is not the one to conduct the audit of the legislature. 

The House has passed an internal rule change that allows DiZoglio to choose an outside auditing company to conduct the audit. 

State voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question last week giving DiZoglio's office the power to conduct the audit without restrictions. 

House Speaker Ron Mariano says only an outside firm should conduct the audit because of the constitutionally mandated separation of powers.
