LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1253, Davis. Counties: recommended budget.
Existing law requires the board of supervisors of a county to consider and approve a recommended budget, including any necessary revisions to the recommended budget, on or before June 30 of each year. Existing law requires the board of supervisors to conduct a public hearing on the recommended budget, and to adopt a budget on or before October 2 of each year.

The bill would require any revision to the recommended budget after the start of the public hearing to be made only if the revision is proposed in writing, and submitted to the clerk of the board prior to the close of the public hearing, or to be adopted by a vote of 4/5 of the board.
