HB 1514 -- County Budgets Sponsor: Johnson (47) This bill authorizes county commissions to withhold up to 3% of the allotments of appropriations for expenditures to any department upon approval of the county budget. In its budget estimate, each department must set aside 3% of appropriations for expenditures, except for salaries, in a reserve fund that can be expended only with county commission approval. If revenues match or exceed estimates, the commission may release the reserve funds.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
