A county forgets to send its budget on time.

(a) A copy of the adopted budget in the format prescribed by the Controller shall be filed by the auditor in the office of the clerk of the board and the office of the Controller not later than December 1 of each year. (b) (1) If the auditor, after receipt of written notice from the Controller, fails to transmit a copy of the adopted budget within 20 days, the county shall forfeit to the state one thousand dollars ($1,000) to be recovered in an action brought by the Attorney General, in the name of the Controller. (2) Upon a satisfactory showing of good cause, the Controller may waive the penalty for late filing provided in paragraph (1). (Amended by Stats. 2009, Ch. 332, Sec. 47. (SB 113) Effective January 1, 2010.)
