  3 27 budget, wherever practicable, shall include estimated and
  3 28 actual tax increment financing revenues and all estimated and
  3 29 actual expenditures of the revenues, proceeds from debt and
  3 30 all of the expenditure of debt proceeds, and identification of
  3 31 any entity receiving a direct tax increment financing rebate
  3 32 of taxes.  The bill requires the tax increment financing
  3 33 budget, wherever practicable to show comparisons between the
  3 34 levels of service provided by each program as estimated for
  3 35 the following year, and actual levels of service provided by
  4  1 each program during the two preceding years.
  4  2    The bill requires an industrial new jobs training tax
  4  3 incentives reporting committee to be formed consisting of two
  4  4 representatives of the department of economic development, two
  4  5 representatives of community colleges, and two representatives
  4  6 of the department of revenue.  The bill requires the committee
  4  7 to study the reporting of information related to tax
  4  8 incentives received pursuant to Code chapter 260E.  By
  4  9 December 31, 2007, the bill requires the committee to submit a
  4 10 written report to the general assembly which shall include but
  4 11 not be limited to a proposed system for collecting data for
