House Bill 2549 |
House Author: Davis, John |
|
Effective: 6-19-09 |
Senate Sponsor: Patrick, Dan |
Previous law required the county auditor in a county with a population of two million or more to audit all books, accounts, reports, vouchers, and other records relating to funds handled by the county department of education. House Bill 2549 amends the law to increase the minimum population of a county to which the law applies from two million or more to three million and to authorize, rather than require, the county auditor to audit all records relating to the financial aspects of any contractual relationship between the county and the county department of education. The bill requires the department to periodically have an audit of certain records relating to funds handled by the department prepared by an independent auditor and to deliver a copy of the audit to the commissioners court of the county.
