In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1380 ( Relating 
to the creation of an electronic state business daily to give 
notice before a state agency makes a procurement with a value 
that exceeds $25,000.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1380-As Passed 2nd House
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
Fiscal Analysis

The bill would require the creation of an 
electronic state business daily to give notice before certain 
state agencies make a procurement with a value that exceeds 
$25,000.  

Methodology

Any increase in cost or workload 
to gather and prepare information for the daily and to make 
it available on the Internet could likely be absorbed within 
current agency resources.
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
