Proposes constitutional amendment to broaden powers of the Council on Local Mandates.

SCR 115 proposes a constitutional amendment to expand the Council on Local Mandates' authority. Currently limited to reviewing mandates from laws enacted after 1996, the amendment would allow the Council to examine all existing state laws, rules, and regulations - including those adopted before 1996 - to identify unfunded mandates. These are requirements forcing school districts, counties, or municipalities to spend money without state funding. The Council would then recommend eliminating or modifying such mandates to the Legislature and review pending bills to flag potential future unfunded mandates. This change aims to reduce financial burdens on local governments by enabling broader scrutiny of state mandates.
