AI Summary

  • Requires the state auditor to complete an economic analysis before any tax bill—legislation creating, modifying, or extending tax incentives—can be adopted by the House or Senate
  • Economic analysis must include good faith estimates, on both a direct and indirect basis over 10 years, of net changes in state revenue, state expenditures (including administration costs), economic activity, and public benefit
  • State auditor must determine within 10 days whether a proposed bill qualifies as a tax bill and must complete the full economic analysis within 30 days of receiving the bill
  • Tax bills may only be introduced in the House of Representatives and must bear an LC number and have the economic analysis summary attached to all printed copies
  • If an amendment or substitute is certified by the state auditor as a fiscal amendment and was adopted without a revised economic analysis attached, the bill's legislative progress ends and, if already passed, stands repealed in its entirety upon enactment
