Decoding HB 1329: What Counties Need to Know Before Fall 2027

The Local Government Financial Transparency and Accountability Act, or HB 1329, takes effect January 1st, 2027, as part of a broader state push to increase transparency, accountability, and fiscal discipline in local government finances by giving taxpayers clearer visibility into how counties and municipalities budget and spend. For counties, that means a real expansion of what has to be tracked, reported, and published, and it's adding real pressure as teams prepare for next year's budget, which will need to reflect the new requirements. This webinar addresses the law's core requirements and explains practical ways counties can comply with the new statute.
