Bill > SB2094

This bill amends the Fiscal Note Act by modifying the rules around requesting fiscal notes, which are financial impact assessments for proposed legislation. Specifically, the bill changes the existing language to clarify that any member of either legislative house can request a fiscal note be prepared, and importantly, removes previous language that allowed a majority vote to decide whether such a note request would be considered. The new language explicitly states that no rule in either house can disallow or invalidate a fiscal note request made under this Act. This change appears to strengthen legislators' ability to obtain financial analyses of proposed measures by eliminating potential procedural barriers that could previously prevent a fiscal note from being prepared. The bill will take effect immediately upon enactment, ensuring immediate implementation of these procedural modifications to the fiscal note request process.
