C.S.H.B. 3698 |
By: Smithee |
County Affairs |
Committee Report (Substituted) |
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Current law requires district judges in counties with a population of 10,200 or more to appoint a county auditor. This requirement is considered by some to be unnecessary and costly, particularly for counties that barely meet the threshold for this requirement. C.S.H.B. 3698 seeks to increase the minimum county population threshold for which district judges are required to appoint a county auditor.
