Bill > SB247

This bill requires each parish voluntary council on aging, which are local organizations dedicated to serving older adults, to submit their bank statements to the legislative auditor, the state's independent fiscal watchdog, every month by the last day of the month. This change is being made to R.S. 46:1602(A)(3), a law that already authorizes these councils to receive public funds and makes those funds subject to audit, by adding a new requirement for regular, monthly financial reporting to ensure transparency and accountability in how these funds are managed.
