# O.C.G.A. § 28-5-51. Contents of fiscal note.

A fiscal note shall contain an aggregated estimate of the fiscal impact of a bill, a joint resolution, or an administrative action on local political subdivisions for the fiscal year in which it would become effective, if enacted, and for the next two succeeding fiscal years. If the fiscal impact of the bill, joint resolution, or administrative action is not expected to be totally evident within the applicable period, the estimate shall be projected beyond that period to include an estimate for the first fiscal year in which it is expected to be fully effective.
