SB 5600: County operations

Making changes to the internal operations of counties.

Summary

  • The language prescribing how the county auditor pays the county's superior court judges is updated to provide that the judges are paid by the auditor in the same manner as all other elected officials are paid. A county's appropriation account may, instead of shall, remain open for 30 days to 60 days at the auditor's discretion in order to pay claims incurred prior to the close of the fiscal year.
