Requires fiscal notes for all bills that establish new programs or expand existing programs.

This bill requires state legislators to obtain a cost estimate (fiscal note) for any bill that creates a new state-funded program or expands an existing one. It directly affects lawmakers drafting bills and the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer, who must request these estimates from the Division of Budget and Accounting. The key mechanism expands current law - previously requiring cost estimates only for bills affecting state spending or revenue - to specifically mandate them for all new program creations or expansions. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
