MINORITY IMPACT STATEMENT
   Sec. ___.  NEW SECTION.  2.57  Minority impact statements.
   1.  Beginning January 1, 2020, a minority impact statement shall be attached to each bill and joint resolution prior to debate on the floor of a chamber of the general assembly. The statement shall include information concerning the impact of the legislation upon minority persons in the state, including but not limited to the impact upon economic opportunities, employment, incarceration, educational opportunities, voter rights and voting access, and other relevant matters. The statement shall be factual and shall, if possible, provide a reasonable estimate of both the immediate effect and the long-range impact upon minority persons. The legislative services agency shall develop a protocol for analyzing the impact of legislation on minority persons pursuant to this section. For purposes of this section, “minority persons” means the same as defined in section 8.11.
   2.  The legislative services agency shall cause to be prepared a minority impact statement within a reasonable time after a bill or joint resolution is placed on the calendar of either chamber of the general assembly. All minority impact statements approved by the legislative services agency shall be transmitted immediately to either the chief clerk of the house or the secretary of the senate, after notifying the sponsor of the legislation that the statement has been prepared for publication. The chief clerk of the house or the secretary of the senate shall attach the statement to the bill or joint resolution as soon as it is available.
   3.  The legislative services agency may request the cooperation of any state department or agency or political subdivision in preparing a minority impact statement.
   4.  A revised minority impact statement shall be prepared if the minority impact has been changed by the adoption of an amendment, and may be requested by a member of the general assembly or be prepared upon a determination made by the legislative services agency. However, a request for a revised minority impact statement shall not delay action on the bill or joint resolution unless so ordered by the presiding officer of the chamber.>
   2.  By renumbering as necessary.
