*  No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.        *
*                                                                        *
*  For the 1998-99 biennium, provisions in the bill are contained in     *
*  the General                                                           *
*  Appropriations Act.                                                   *
*                                                                        *
*  The bill changes an annual reporting requirement for state            *
*  agencies to a biennial                                                *

*  Comptroller report.                                                   *
*  Therefore, while there might be an overall small savings to the       *
*  state, there would                                                    *
*  be no significant fiscal implications.                                *
