Subcommittee endorses aligning EBD fiscal-impact process with scope-of-practice bills
Summary
Subcommittee members agreed to combine the EBD fiscal-impact statement process with the process used for scope-of-practice bills to improve timeliness and consistency; Cochair Gilmore said members and chamber leadership discussed the change earlier and staff will implement the updated process.
The ALC executive subcommittee agreed to revise the fiscal-impact statement process for EBD-related bills by aligning it with the process used for scope-of-practice legislation, a change intended to improve timeliness and consistency.
Cochair Gilmore told members there had been “a lot of discussion during session and… frustration related to the impacts that were being done for EBD related bills and policy,” and said members and chamber leadership met to identify improvements. Gilmore summarized the outcome: “taking the EBD process and marrying it that with the scope of practice bills that we have, so that there's some uniformity there and some… understanding of what to expect from from member standpoint when they go into the next session.”
Staff members present were available to answer questions. The subcommittee voted to approve the change on a voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or specific procedural steps to operationalize the merged process.
