FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Economic Development (DED) state the bill imposes some additional duties on DED with regard to capturing information on tax credits and grants. DED would also be required to do a report to the President Pro tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House.



DED feels changes can be incorporated into existing programs and the report can be prepared from information already gathered. No costs are anticipated at this time. DED states that if these items require more work than anticipated, a budget request could be submitted in the future.



Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal requires additional information regarding the Department of Economic Development contracts for financial assistance, including tax credits. DOR assumes the proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.
