Establishing fiscal notes submitted to the Legislature constitute sworn testimony

Summary

The bill treats any fiscal note or cost estimate given to the Legislature as sworn testimony. Anyone who knowingly submits a false or materially misleading fiscal note could be charged with perjury, while those who act in good faith are protected if they promptly correct errors. It also requires any suspected violation to be referred to prosecutors.
