STATE DEBT NOTE (Economic and Fiscal Commission) HB 2047 would not affect the bonding authorization of the State and, therefore, has no direct impact on the level of State indebtedness. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) Because the amount of funding available for the Board and the extent of its activities as authorized by this legislation are unknown, the fiscal impact of HB 2047 on the Department cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
