HB 17-1005 Summary

• Amends performance audit requirements for public highway authorities by allowing the legislative audit committee to prohibit audits during years when the transportation legislation review committee meets.

• Modernizes language in revenue department deposit procedures to clarify state treasurer receipt processes and remove outdated gendered pronouns ("his" to "or her").

• Updates county bond issuance statutes by replacing archaic language and eliminating the state auditor's bond registration fee requirement of ten cents per bond.
