What’s in it
AI summary The auditor of state could charge cities a fee to have their finances checked if they aren't already required to have an audit. This change would allow the auditor to collect up to $600,000 in fees each year, which is more than the current limit of $375,000. Any money collected above the limit must be used to train city officials on how to manage their finances.1
Read the official explanation
This bill concerns the authority of the auditor of state to establish a periodic examination fee to be collected from cities that are not otherwise required to have an audit or required fiscal year examination conducted during a fiscal year. The bill allows the auditor to base the fees in such a manner as to produce total revenue of not more than $600,000 in a fiscal year. Current law only allows the auditor to set fees that generate not more than $375,000 in total revenue in a fiscal year. Under current law, any moneys received in a fiscal year in excess of the revenue cap shall be used to provide training to city officials on municipal financial management.
