MEMORANDUM

Posted: August 26, 2015 02:36 PM
From: Representative Joe Emrick
To: All House members
Subject: Municipal Authority Financial Controls Legislation
 
In the near future, I plan on introducing legislation that would create a system of financial best practices for municipal authorities across the state to use when handling the money that they collect. The Municipal Authorities Association has worked with me to develop a number of legislative changes that will make it harder for an individual to misappropriate any money collected by a municipal authority. Some of the changes that my legislation would make are: removing any individual names from municipal accounts, creating a standardized procedure for the handling of authority’s funds, and requiring annual audits and fiscal reports to be presented to the authority board.

Please join me in sponsoring this important legislation that will add common sense financial protections to the money collected by municipal authorities across the state.

Introduced as HB1643
