Summary: SB 356 would amend Section 117.123 of the Local Government Code to allow a commissioners court to determine whether an outside auditor or county auditor would be more appropriate to audit funds in the registry section of the general fund of a county. Additionally, this bill would change the deadline of the written report of the audit from within 90 days to within 180 days.
Analysis: SB 356 would allow county governments to determine the best way to conduct audits of county funds. This would be good for local control, placing the decision at a more appropriate level of government. We support SB 356.
