HB 851 amends O.C.G.A. § 36-15 by adding a new code section § 36-15-13 which requires the board of trustees of a county law library to have an annual audit of its financial affairs, books, and accounts performed by a certified public accountant. The bill also requires that a copy of such audit shall be made available to the governing authority of the county and shall be a public document. The bill also makes eligible the purchase of software, equipment and furnishings for the courthouse or other county judicial facilities at the discretion of the board of trustees.
