STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 16215 Legislative auditors have indicated that it is no longer necessary for small commodity commissions to require two (2) signatures on checking accounts. The Alfalfa and Clover Seed Commission requires action by the Commission to withdraw or pay out of any accounts. These accounts are audited by legislative auditors. In some instances, members of the Commission are some distance apart and it is difficult to obtain two (2) signatures. FISCAL NOTE There is no impact to the general fund.
