Senate adopts resolution asking auditor to review fiscal-note process
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution 63, introduced by Senator Bass, asks the legislative auditor to examine how fiscal notes are prepared and report findings by Feb. 1, 2027; the chamber adopted amendments and passed the resolution by recorded vote.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 63, filed by Senator Bass, asks the legislative auditor to study the process for developing legislative fiscal notes and to produce a written report by Feb. 1, 2027.
Senator Bass told the chamber the request arose from concerns in sectors such as insurance where fiscal-note information sometimes comes from interested parties and that the review should include practices and comparisons with other states. "This resolution requested the legislative auditor to examine and evaluate the process of developing and preparing fiscal notes," Bass said on the floor. The Senate adopted technical amendments on the floor and then approved the resolution by recorded vote; the clerk announced 33 ayes and 0 nays.
Supporters said the measure is a study and oversight tool rather than a change in statute; Senator Bass moved adoption of the resolution and the amendments were carried without objection.
