H.B. 539 2023/02/27 08:19, Lead Analyst: Andrea Wilko Attorney: AVA Notes on Notes Fiscal notes estimate the direct costs or revenues of enacting a bill. The Legislature uses them to balance the budget. They do not measure a bill's benefits or non-fiscal impacts like opportunity costs, wait times, or inconvenience. A fiscal note is not an appropriation. The Legislature decides appropriations separately.
