STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

Explanation of Fiscal Impact

Amended by the House of Representatives on May 2, 2019

State Expenditure

This bill revises the definition of a farm structure. Farm structures are regulated by the Building Codes Council (council), which is under the administration of LLR. The revision of the definition does not operationally or fiscally impact the council, and, therefore, does not have an expenditure impact on the general fund, federal funds, or other funds.

Frank A. Rainwater, Executive Director

Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office
