FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance assume the proposal will have no
fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary.
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) notes many bills considered by the
General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and
regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain
amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for
this fiscal note to SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that this
is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet these
costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the General
Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what SOS can
sustain with the core budget. Therefore, SOS reserves the right to request funding for the cost of
supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a review of the
finally approved bills signed by the governor.
