Summary

Local Government Fiscal Assistance Amendments of 1983 - Extends the revenue-sharing program of general-purpose fiscal assistance to local governments through FY 1985. States that all data computations (currently, only the allocations) of a local government whose boundaries include areas of two or more counties shall be determined on the basis of the proportion of its population in each county. Requires a local government receiving such assistance to assure that it will comply with the public-participation and audit requirements. Repeals provisions requiring a reduction in the allocation to a State government if it reduces its own payments to local governments. Permits State governments to use alternative formulae for allocating payments among its local governments. Reduces from two to one the number of public hearings a recipient government must hold on its proposals for use of revenue sharing funds. Declares that discrimination proceedings must begin when a government receives a notice of discrimination complaints (currently, when the notice is issued). Permits a government to elect to have the required audits conducted every second fiscal year in which the government receives payments provided that such audit encompasses the financial statements for both fiscal years. Requires such audits to be conducted in accordance with the Comptroller General's 'Standards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities and Functions.' Requires such reports to be made available for public inspection within 30 days following completion.
