Summary

The bill changes the date by which school districts, county superintendents, joint powers authorities and charter schools must hold a public meeting to review their annual audit, shifting it from January 31 to March 31 or 45 days after the audit report, whichever is later. At that meeting the governing board must vote to accept or reject the audit. The change aims to give districts more time to address audit findings and to formalize the board’s response.
