House committee carries over short bill tightening auditor requirements
Summary
Members carried over HB 587, a short bill that clarifies auditor requirements; sponsor said it will increase costs to hire qualified auditors.
Representative Shaw presented HB 587, a short bill that clarifies the requirements applied to auditors. Shaw told the committee the bill is brief and that implementing the changes will raise costs because hiring qualified auditors "always cost money."
