| 1 |
| Education shall be designated an Education Budget and Impact | 2 |
| Note and shall be filed with the Clerk of the House or the | 3 |
| Secretary of the Senate, as appropriate, and furnished to the | 4 |
| sponsor within 10 calendar days thereafter, except that | 5 |
| whenever, because of the complexity of the bill, additional | 6 |
| time is required for the preparation of the note, the State | 7 |
| Superintendent of Education may so notify the sponsor and | 8 |
| request an extension of time not to exceed 5 additional days | 9 |
| within that is to be furnished. The extension shall not extend | 10 |
| beyond May 15 following the date of the request. | 11 |
| (b) Upon the filing of any bill requiring the preparation | 12 |
| of a written statement under subsection (a) of this Section, | 13 |
| the sponsor of the bill in the house of introduction shall | 14 |
| inform the State Board of Education of the filing of the bill.
| 15 |
| Section 15. Preferred funding source. Within 5 days after | 16 |
| receiving the statement required in Section 10 of this Act and | 17 |
| prior to the second reading in the house of introduction, the | 18 |
| sponsor shall file with the Clerk of the House or the Secretary | 19 |
| of the Senate, as appropriate, a written statement identifying | 20 |
| the sponsor's preferred means of funding the costs to be | 21 |
| incurred by the legislation. The required identification shall | 22 |
| be made either by specifying (i) the additional tax or other | 23 |
| revenue source from which an amount equal to the costs | 24 |
| identified are to be generated or (ii) the specific line item | 25 |
| or items in the budget for the current fiscal year that would |

| be reduced or eliminated to reach an amount equal to the costs | 2 |
| identified. | 3 |
| Section 20. Population and fiscal impact. The note shall be | 4 |
| factual in nature, as brief and concise as may be, and shall | 5 |
| provide as reliable an estimate, in terms of population and | 6 |
| dollar impact, as is possible under the circumstances. The note | 7 |
| shall include both the immediate effect, and if determinable or | 8 |
| reasonably foreseeable, the long range effect of the measure. | 9 |
| If, after careful investigation, it is determined that no | 10 |
| population or dollar estimate is possible, the note shall | 11 |
| contain a statement to that effect, setting forth the reasons | 12 |
| why no estimate can be given. A brief summary or work sheet of | 13 |
| computations used in arriving at the Budget and Impact Note | 14 |
| figures shall be supplied.
| 15 |
| Section 25. Preparation of note. No comment or opinion | 16 |
| shall be included in the note with regard to the merits of the | 17 |
| measure for which the note is prepared; however, technical or | 18 |
| mechanical defects may be noted. | 19 |
| The work sheet shall include, insofar as practicable, a | 20 |
| breakdown of the costs upon which the note is based. The | 21 |
| breakdown shall include, but need not be limited to, costs of | 22 |
| personnel, room and board, and capital outlay. The note shall | 23 |
| also include such other information as is required by the rules | 24 |
| and regulations which may be promulgated by each house of the |

| measure is amended on the floor of either house in a manner as | 16 |
| to bring it within the description of bills set forth in | 17 |
