To repeal section 182.647, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to library reports.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 182.647, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 182.647, to read as follows:
182.647. 1. The treasurer, the librarian and other employees as designated by the board, before entering upon the discharge of their duties as such, shall enter into bond or bonds with a corporate surety to be approved by the board of trustees in such amount as may be fixed by the board, conditioned that they will render a faithful and just account of all money that comes into their hands, and otherwise perform the duties of their office according to law. The consolidated public library district shall pay the premium for the bond or bonds from its operating fund. A copy of such bond or bonds shall be filed with the treasurer of the board and clerk for each county included within the consolidated public library district. In case of a breach of the conditions of the bond or bonds the board or any taxpayer of the consolidated public library district may cause suit to be brought thereon. The suit shall be prosecuted in the name of the state of Missouri at the relation of and for use of the proper consolidated public library district.
2. The librarian, for and on behalf of the board, shall keep or cause to be kept financial records and accounts according to generally accepted accounting standards, and shall furnish to the board or any member thereof the financial records and accounts, or summaries thereof, that the board or any member thereof may request.
3. On or before the [thirty-first] thirtieth day of [August] September of each year, the librarian shall make a report to the board, stating the condition of the library and its services as of the thirtieth day of June of the preceding fiscal year. This report shall be accompanied by an audit conducted by an independent auditing firm. On or before the [thirtieth] thirty-first day of [September] October, the reports shall be submitted to the county commissions and county executive officers and Missouri state library commission by the board of trustees of the consolidated public library district.
