STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10311
This bill would clarify that the President Pro Tempore and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives are the officials who are authorized to make
expenditures out of the legislative account and to sign vouchers or claims for
payment, and that those signatures are sufficient authority for the State Controller
to pay the same.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill would have no fiscal impact.
