House Bill No. by Representative McMakin amends existing laws to require certain agencies within East Baton Rouge Parish, specifically the Capital Area Transit System (CATS), the Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge (BREC), and the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, to submit their bank statements to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor on a monthly basis. The bill establishes that these bank statements must be submitted by the last day of each month, ensuring timely financial oversight and accountability for these agencies.

The bill modifies R.S. 33:4570.3(D)(4) and R.S. 48:1461(B) to include the new requirement for monthly bank statement submissions, while also enacting R.S. 46:1608.2 to specifically address the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging's obligations. The proposed changes aim to enhance transparency and financial management within these public agencies, reinforcing their responsibility to maintain accurate and accessible financial records for auditing purposes.
