1 1 Section 1. NEW SECTION. 25C.1 DEFINITION.
1 2 As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise
1 3 requires, "funding mandate" means a statutory requirement
1 4 which requires the state to establish, expand, or modify its
1 5 activities in a manner which necessitates an additional state
1 6 appropriation of at least one hundred thousand dollars.
1 7 However, any requirement originating from the federal
1 8 government and administered, implemented, or enacted by the
1 9 state, an order issued by a court of this state, or any
1 10 allocation of federal moneys conditioned upon enactment of a
1 11 state law or rule, is not a funding mandate.
1 12 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION. 25C.2 COST ESTIMATES – SUNSET
1 13 CONSIDERATION.
1 14 1. When a bill or joint resolution is requested, the
1 15 legislative service bureau shall make an initial determination
1 16 of whether the bill or joint resolution may impose a funding
1 17 mandate. If a funding mandate may be included, that fact
1 18 shall be included in the explanation of the bill or joint
1 19 resolution.
1 20 2. If a bill or joint resolution may include a funding
1 21 mandate, a copy of the prepared draft shall be sent to the
1 22 legislative fiscal bureau, which shall determine if the bill
1 23 or joint resolution contains a funding mandate. If the bill
1 24 or joint resolution contains a funding mandate, the bill or
1 25 joint resolution shall provide that the funding mandate shall
1 26 be repealed within five years or sooner from the effective
1 27 date of the legislation or shall affirmatively provide that
1 28 the funding mandate shall not be repealed.
1 29 EXPLANATION
1 30 This bill provides that a bill or resolution establishing a
1 31 funding mandate, which is defined as a statutory requirement
1 32 to establish, expand, or modify an activity of the state
1 33 necessitating an additional state appropriation of $100,000,
1 34 shall either provide for the repeal of the new program within
1 35 at least five years of the effective date of the legislation
2 1 or shall affirmatively state that the bill or resolution shall
2 2 not be repealed. The bill provides that the legislative
2 3 service bureau shall note whether a bill may impose a funding
2 4 mandate and further provides that the legislative fiscal
2 5 bureau shall then determine whether the bill establishes a
2 6 funding mandate. The bill provides that any requirement to
2 7 expend moneys as required by the federal government or
2 8 pursuant to court order shall not be considered a funding
2 9 mandate subject to the requirements of this bill.
