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.
