HCS HB 1290 -- AUDITORS IN CHARTER COUNTIES

SPONSOR:  Sutherland (Gatschenberger)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Ways and Means by a vote of 11 to 0.

This substitute increases from $250 to $1,000 the minimum
threshold value of county property that must be inventoried
annually by the auditor in a charter county.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2011, FY 2012, and
FY 2013.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that it has been over 20 years since
the dollar amount of property that requires it to be inventoried
has been adjusted.  The bill sets the amount at a more reasonable
threshold and still allows counties to track items of lessor
value if they choose.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Gatschenberger; and
St. Charles County Government.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
