Bill Summary

For legislation relative to local impacts of enacted legislation. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 29 of the General Laws by adding a new section that requires any law enacted by the governor to be accompanied by a fiscal note. This fiscal note must estimate the financial impact of the law on local governments' revenues and expenditures for the year it takes effect and the following four years, or until the full impact is realized if it extends beyond that period. If a law imposes a "mandate" (a requirement placed on a local government) or a "mandated appropriation" (a requirement for a specific amount of money to be spent by a local government), the fiscal note must clearly state this and provide an estimate of its financial impact. Additionally, the fiscal note must identify the sources of information used to create these financial estimates.
