LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR: Requires each parish voluntary council on aging to submit certain financial information monthly to the legislative auditor. (8/1/26)
SB 247 requires parish voluntary councils on aging in Louisiana to submit their bank statements to the legislative auditor by the last day of each month. This bill directly affects all 64 parish voluntary councils on aging, mandating monthly financial transparency. The key provision amends state law to specify that these councils must provide bank statements monthly for audit, replacing a previous requirement for less frequent submissions. The bill focuses solely on streamlining financial reporting to the legislative auditor, with no substantive policy changes to council operations.
