HB 2111 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies powers of the state auditor

This bill modifies the powers of the state auditor by updating how state funds are managed and reporting requirements are enforced. It mandates that most state department fees and moneys be deposited into the state treasury within thirty days and transferred to the general revenue fund at the end of each two-year budget cycle, with specific exceptions for university funds, federal grants, and hospital fees. Additionally, the legislation introduces a new rule requiring a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers to allow any new fund to keep its unspent money instead of returning it to the general revenue fund. These changes aim to increase transparency and ensure that state funds are appropriated for their intended purposes unless a supermajority explicitly votes to exempt them.
