All current online check registers must show date, payee and amount paid for all expenses paid by the local government. This includes all payments, such as accounts payable, payroll, automated clearing house (ACH), electronic fund transfers (EFT), bonds, leases, loans, wires, etc.

Local governments must take extreme care to ensure that no confidential or sensitive personal data is posted, specifically in regards to employee salaries, fringe benefits and other deductions. Employee information should be consolidated and presented as cumulative totals to prevent release. Further consolidation of data by fiscal year is also strongly recommended by the state.

Note: Registers are uploaded on a monthly basis by the Finance Department.
