TITLE 3 - LEGISLATURE
CHAPTER 23 - AUDITOR
§23-11 - New special or revolving funds.

     [§23-11]  New special or revolving funds.  Within five days after the deadline for the introduction of bills in each legislative session, the clerks of each house of the legislature shall transmit, to the legislative auditor for analysis, copies of all legislative bills that were introduced in their respective houses during that session that propose to establish new special or revolving funds.

     The criteria to be used by the auditor in analyzing each legislative bill shall include, but not be limited to, the extent to which the fund:

     (1)  Serves the purpose for which it is being created; and

     (2)  Reflects a clear link between the benefit sought and changes made upon the users or beneficiaries of the program, as opposed to serving primarily as a means to provide the program or users with an automatic means of support which is removed from the normal budget and appropriations process.

Each analysis shall set forth the probable effects of the proposed fund and shall also assess alternative forms of funding.

     No later than thirty days prior to the adjournment sine die of each legislative session, the legislative auditor shall submit the analysis of each transmitted legislative bill to each house of the legislature. [L 1990, c 240, §2]
