SUMMARY
This amendment requires that the Office of Fiscal and Program Review meet with a joint standing committee and provide a copy of the written public materials used to prepare the fiscal note upon request of a majority of the committee. The committee clerk is required to provide prior notification of the work session to the sponsor of the bill or resolve.
This amendment also requires the committee clerk to provide the Office of Fiscal and Program Review with a copy of all testimony and other materials received by the committee if the bill or resolve has a favorable committee recommendation.
This amendment also makes a technical change to reflect actual practice that fiscal notes accompany amendments rather than being incorporated into the amendment by the Revisor of Statutes.
