Summary

Existing law requires certain local agencies to furnish reports to the Controller concerning financial transactions of the local agency, subject to uniform accounting and reporting procedures prescribed by the Controller. The Controller may provide for the investigation of certain local agency finances if a report is not made in the time, form, and manner required or there is reason to believe that a report is false, incomplete, or incorrect. This bill would additionally authorize the Controller, if the Controller determines that sufficient funds are made available, to conduct a preliminary review to determine the existence of a local agency financial problem, and perform an audit upon completion of that review, subject to specified criteria. The bill would require the Controller, if the Controller determines that sufficient funds are made available, to convene a local agency financial review committee with a specified membership, and authorize the committee to recommend a financial recovery plan for a local agency requesting assistance. It would require the Controller to report to the Legislature annually on the actions of the committee and the status of all engagements with local agencies pursuant to these provisions. The bill would specify that its provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2017.
