AN  ACT  to amend the legislative law, in relation to requiring detailed
  fiscal impact notes on certain legislation

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  Section 51 of the legislative law, as added by chapter 985
of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as follows:
  S 51. Fiscal  impact  notes on bills affecting political subdivisions.
1. For the purpose of this section,  the  term  "political  subdivision"
means  any  county,  city,  town,  village,  special  district or school
district.
  2. [The legislature shall by concurrent resolution of the  senate  and
assembly prescribe rules requiring fiscal notes to accompany, on a sepa-
rate form, bills and amendments to bills, except as otherwise prescribed
by  such  rules,  which]  A  BILL  THAT would [substantially] affect the
revenues or expenses,  or  both,  of  any  political  subdivision  SHALL
CONTAIN  A DETAILED FISCAL IMPACT NOTE STATING THE ESTIMATED ANNUAL COST
TO THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION AFFECTED AND THE SOURCE OF  SUCH  ESTIMATE.
THE  FISCAL IMPACT NOTE MUST CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE FUNDING SOURCE OF SUCH
ANNUAL COST TO THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION. AN OMISSION  OF  SUCH  FUNDING
SOURCE IN THE FISCAL IMPACT NOTE, SHALL INVALIDATE SUCH BILL.
  3. Fiscal notes shall not, however, be required for bills: (a) subject
to  the  provisions of section fifty of this chapter, or (b) accompanied
by special home rule requests submitted by  political  subdivisions,  or
(c)  which provide discretionary authority to political subdivisions, or
(d) submitted pursuant to section twenty-four of the state finance law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
