AI Summary
This bill requires the office of the legislative analyst, an office established to provide economic analysis and research to the legislature, to create "fiscal notes" for all bills that have a financial impact. A fiscal note is a document that estimates the potential financial consequences of a proposed law, including how it might increase or decrease state or county revenues and expenditures, and any long-term implications. The bill mandates that no legislative committee can make a decision on such a bill without first reviewing its fiscal note, and these notes must be made publicly available. Additionally, the bill appropriates funds for the operation of the office of the legislative analyst, ensuring it has the resources to fulfill these new responsibilities.
