HB 1230-FN - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT requiring a listing of state real property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

      The Department of Administrative Services states this bill may increase state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in Fiscal Year 2012 and each year thereafter. There will be no impact on state revenues or county and local revenues or expenditures.

METHODOLOGY:

    The Department of Administrative Services states this bill creates potentially significant annual reporting obligations for state agencies beyond the current annual reporting of data for the State Owned Real Property Report. The Department states there could be additional administrative costs for agencies as a result of soliciting, acquiring, and reporting of the additional data required by this bill. The Department states total costs are indeterminable as costs may vary by agency.
