25B.5 COST ESTIMATES -- NOTATION IN ACTS.
1. When a bill or joint resolution is requested, the legislative
services agency shall make an initial determination of whether the
bill or joint resolution may impose a state mandate. If a state
mandate may be included, that fact shall be included in the
explanation of the bill or joint resolution.
2. If a bill or joint resolution may include a state mandate, the
legislative services agency shall determine if the bill or joint
resolution contains a state mandate. If the bill or joint resolution
contains a state mandate and is still eligible for consideration
during the legislative session for which the bill or joint resolution
was drafted, the legislative services agency shall prepare an
estimate of the amount of costs imposed.
3. If a bill or joint resolution containing a state mandate is
enacted, unless the estimate already on file with the house of origin
is sufficient, the legislative services agency shall prepare a final
estimate of additional local revenue expenditures required by the
state mandate and file the estimate with the secretary of state for
inclusion with the official copy of the bill or resolution to which
it applies. A notation of the filing of the estimate shall be made
in the Iowa Acts published pursuant to chapter 2B. Section History: Recent Form
