fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary.
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note.

proposal. Oversight has presented this fiscal note on the best current information available. Upon
the receipt of additional responses, Oversight will review to determine if an updated fiscal note
