(B) The department of taxation shall prepare and submit to the governor not later than the first day of November in each even-numbered year a report describing the effect of tax expenditures on the general revenue fund. The report shall contain a description of each tax expenditure under existing laws and, in comparative form, a detailed estimate of the approximate amount of revenue not available to the state general revenue fund in each fiscal year of the current and ensuing fiscal bienniums as a result of the operation of each tax expenditure. The report shall be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate the inclusion of the information provided by the report in the governor's budget.
