FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATURE 1st CALLED SESSION - 2017
 
August 8, 2017

TO:
Honorable Byron Cook, Chair, House Committee on State Affairs
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HJR31 by Shine (Proposing a constitutional amendment to restrict the power of the legislature to mandate unfunded costs and requirements on a municipality, county, or school district.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

Depending upon future actions of the legislature, there could be an indeterminate cost to the state to pay or reimburse municipalities, counties, and school districts. 

The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $114,369.

The bill would require the state to pay or reimburse municipalities, counties, and school districts for legislation that would require them to expend revenue to comply with the legislation.  Otherwise, the law would not be effective.

Local Government Impact

The fiscal implications to units of local government cannot be determined at this time.
