STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15758
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.
