What it costs you
- The fiscal note says this bill doesn't change anyone's taxes or fees. It moves about $3,300 in FY2027between the state's own accounts.
From the bill's latest official fiscal note, counting the state's tax funds (General, Income Tax, Education, Uniform School, and Transportation) in the first full budget year after the session. Some bills take effect partway through that year, so later years can be larger; the note shows each year. Household count: U.S. Census Bureau. An average is a starting point, not your bill.
