Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Assembly Rule 98m: The rule is created to require the legislative fiscal bureau, independently of the preparation of any other local fiscal estimate by a state agency, to prepare an original local fiscal estimate on any bill requiring a local fiscal estimate. The legislative fiscal bureau is directed to consult with local governmental officials and employees in preparing the local fiscal estimate. Bills requiring local fiscal estimates under this rule may not be considered by the assembly, and may receive neither a public hearing nor be considered by an assembly standing committee, before the receipt of the local fiscal estimate prepared under this rule.
