FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 17, 2009

TO:	Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB2396 by Nelson (Relating to obsolete or redundant reporting requirements applicable to health and human services agencies.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would abolish obsolete or redundant reporting requirements for health and human service agencies if the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house, and presiding officers of certain committees make that determination. The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission to identify reports that should be considered for abolition no later than December 1, 2009. 

It is unclear as to what impact, if any, this bill would have on reporting requirements contained in the General Appropriations Act.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
