LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR: Provides for monthly financial reports to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor from certain East Baton Rouge Parish agencies
HB 204 requires specific East Baton Rouge Parish agencies - including the Capital Area Transit System, Recreation and Park Commission, and East Baton Rouge Council on Aging - to submit monthly bank statements directly to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor. The bill mandates that these agencies provide their bank statements by the last day of each month, replacing previous annual audit requirements with a more frequent reporting schedule. This law applies only to the named agencies within East Baton Rouge Parish and does not alter their operational authority or funding. The change aims to increase transparency in the financial oversight of these local entities by the state auditor.
