Subsection (1-l) to read as follows:
      (m)  If the director of the Legislative Budget Board
determines that a bill or joint resolution expressly or impliedly
amends the open records law, the open meetings law, or other law in
a manner that may reduce public access to government information or
to the transaction of public business, the director shall prepare
and forward to the chair of the committee to which the measure is
referred an open government impact statement.  The statement shall
estimate the impact of the proposed policy changes on public access
to government information or to the transaction of public business.
The provisions of this section do not apply if the author or

public access to government information or to the transaction of
public business.

bill or joint resolution, except the general appropriations bill,
the impact statement shall be attached to the measure prior to a
final vote by a committee to report the measure.
