Government Transparency

On Thursday, February 23, HB 2621 (local government budgets; posting; contents) passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 56-1. The legislation makes a number of changes to the statutes governing local government budget processes.

The League previously expressed concern about a provision that would prohibit municipalities without websites from using the League website to comply with the law. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Glendale), introduced an amendment to the bill in Committee of the Whole to reverse the proposed prohibition. The amendment was adopted by voice vote.
