FISCAL IMPACT
The bills would result in minimal fiscal savings, if any, for the following State departments: Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (House Bills 5990, 6000, and 6002); Agriculture and Rural Development (House Bills 5993, 5996, and 6003); Corrections (House Bill 5997); Education (House Bill 5998); Insurance and Financial Services (House Bill 5999); Health and Human Services (House Bill 6001); Treasury (House Bill 6004); and State Police (House Bill 6005); as well as various State departments and agencies involved with veterans' employment programs (House Bill 5995). By deleting various provisions requiring the departments or agencies to prepare and submit reports of certain activity to the Legislature and, in some cases, the Governor, the bills could reduce administrative costs. The bills would have no fiscal impact on local government.
