§ 74765 Commission Budget Adoption Process

Key Takeaways

  • •The commission must make a yearly budget using proper accounting rules.
  • •The director must approve the budget before spending any money.
  • •The only exception is paying employees—they can still get paid even if the budget isn't approved yet.

Example

A government office wants to buy new computers for its workers.

They can't spend the money until the director approves the yearly budget. But if it's time to pay the workers' salaries, they can still do that even without the budget being approved.
