Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 16217

Legislative auditors have indicated that it is no longer
necessary for small commodity commissions to require two (2)
signatures on checking accounts. These accounts are audited every
two years with the state reserving the right to audit the funds
at any time. The audits will address each year separately. In
some instances members of the commissions are some distance apart
and it is difficult to obtain two (2) signatures.



                           FISCAL NOTE

There is no impact to the general fund.
