Bill Summary
For legislation to require that certain legislation enacted by the General Court and approved by the Governor contain fiscal notes or local mandate statements. Rules of the two branches, acting concurrently.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any law enacted by the Governor be accompanied by a fiscal note that estimates the fiscal impact of the law on the revenues and expenditures of local governments. If the law imposes a mandate or a mandated appropriation on a local government unit, the fiscal note must clearly identify this and provide an estimate of the fiscal impact. The fiscal note must also identify the sources of information used in preparing the estimates of fiscal impact. This is intended to provide transparency and accountability around the local impacts of legislation passed by the state government.
