 4           Transmission of Bills to the Governor
 5     After a bill has been signed in each house, it
 6  shall be presented by the house of origin to the
 7  governor by either the secretary of the senate or the
 8  chief clerk of the house of origin.  The secretary or
 9  the chief clerk shall report the date of the

12                          Rule 17
13                       Fiscal Notes
14     A fiscal note shall be attached to any bill or
15  joint resolution which reasonably could have an annual
16  effect of at least one hundred thousand dollars or a
17  combined total effect within five years after
18  enactment of five hundred thousand dollars or more on
19  the aggregate revenues, expenditures, or fiscal
20  liability of the state or its subdivisions.  This rule
21  does not apply to appropriation and ways and means
22  measures where the total effect is stated in dollar
23  amounts.
24     Each fiscal note shall state in dollars the
25  estimated effect of the bill on the revenues,
26  expenditures, and fiscal liability of the state or its
27  subdivisions during the first five years after
28  enactment.  The information shall specifically note
29  the fiscal impact for the first two years following
30  enactment and the anticipated impact for the

    Page 12

 1  succeeding three years.  The fiscal note shall specify
 2  the source of the information.  Sources of funds for
 3  expenditures under the bill shall be stated, including
 4  federal funds.  If the fiscal director cannot make an
 5  accurate estimate, the director shall state the best
 6  available estimate or shall state that no dollar
 7  estimate can be made and state concisely the reason.
 8     The preliminary determination of whether the bill
 9  appears to require a fiscal note shall be made by the
10  legislative service bureau which shall send a copy of
11  the request to the legislative fiscal bureau unless
12  the requestor specifies the request is to be
13  confidential.  Upon completion of the bill draft, the
14  legislative service bureau shall immediately send a
15  copy to the legislative fiscal director for review.
16     When a committee reports a bill to the floor, the
17  committee shall state in the report whether a fiscal
18  note is or is not required.
