UNFUNDED MANDATES PROHIBITED

Summary

The bill amends the State Mandates Act so that any state mandate requiring local governments to spend additional money is invalid unless the General Assembly appropriates the needed funds. If the legislature fails to appropriate money, local governments are released from the duty to implement the mandate. The change applies to mandates enacted after the law takes effect and is effective immediately.
