Oversight assumes this proposal is procedural in nature and should have no fiscal impact other than by raising the required assessed valuation might postpone a county from changing classification, thereby, postponing an expenditure of money on salaries, new offices, etc.. For purposes of this fiscal note, Oversight assumes this proposal could save certain counties money from postponing a classification change until a larger assessed valuation has been reached. Fiscal impact to certain counties will be shown as $0 to unknown savings.
