AN ACT relative to fiscal notes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The House Clerk states this bill may increase state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2002 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue or county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The House Clerk states the provisions of this bill are unclear and could be interpreted in a way that may delay the current legislative process. Any delay in legislative process could result in additional days required of the legislature, increased costs for mileage reimbursement, staff time, printing, mailing and other related items. Due to clarifications that are needed in regards to the intent of this legislation, there is no way to determine the exact fiscal impact of this bill at this time.
The Legislative Accountant states although extra time may be needed by the Legislature as a result of this bill, he does not anticipate this bill will result in additional costs.
