LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law requires a county treasurer to receive and keep safely all moneys belonging to the county and all other moneys directed by law to be paid to the county treasurer, and to apply and pay those moneys out, rendering the account as required by law. Existing law requires the county treasurer to settle the county treasurer’s accounts relating to the collection, care, and disbursement of public revenue with the auditor no less frequently than monthly. Existing law additionally requires the county treasurer, upon the request of the auditor, to provide a settlement of cash receipts and disbursements of the prior calendar month to the auditor on or before 10 business days after the treasurer receives the auditor’s request.

This bill would instead require the treasurer, upon the request of the auditor, to provide a settlement of cash receipts and disbursements of the prior calendar month to the auditor on or before 12 business days after the treasurer receives the auditor’s request.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 27061 of the Government Code is amended to read:
