EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:
A review of this bill by the State Treasurer's Office indicates there is a potential for cost savings on the general fund because any premium received will in most cases be used to reduce total borrowing resulting in lower debt service costs over the term of the debt. Any cost savings is contingent on future bond issues and premiums received at time of issue.
