Public officer fiscal training-amendments.

HB 65 limits minimum training requirements for public officers handling government accounts to four hours annually, allowing completion via virtual formats on personal time. It removes the possibility of removal from office for failing to meet these training requirements within one year of taking office, though officers must still follow approved training guidelines. The bill applies directly to public officers (such as county clerks or treasurers) responsible for managing public funds, and requires the state auditor to establish rules for approved training courses. The changes take effect July 1, 2024.
