Honorable Wayne Smith, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1780 by Harless (Relating to the audit of a county jail's commissary operations.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require each county auditor to provide the Commission on Jail Standards with a copy of the auditor's audit of the county jail's commissary operations. Under current statute, the county auditor is required to submit a quarterly audit. The proposed change in statute would allow the auditor to submit an audit report of the commissary when submitting a copy of the county jail annual financial report.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
