§ 3. Procedure. A. (i) The Temporary President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the Assembly shall each designate a person in such officer's
respective house to examine each bill in such house, without regard to
its house of origin, for the purpose of ascertaining whether a fiscal
impact note is required pursuant to this Joint Rule, and if such note is
required, such person shall so notify the sponsor of such bill.

(ii) The sponsor of such bill shall provide such fiscal impact note on
a separate form prescribed therefor by the Temporary President of the
Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly jointly.

(iii) Such fiscal impact note shall state the source thereof, which
may be the sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of a bill
proposed by a state department or agency, such note shall be prepared
and furnished by such department or agency.

(iv) Such designated person in each house shall thereupon review each
fiscal impact note for compliance with the provisions of this Joint
Rule.

B. No bill requiring a fiscal impact note shall be reported to the
floor of the house unless accompanied by the appropriate note for the
version of such bill so reported, except as provided in section four
hereof.

C. If an amendment to a bill has a fiscal impact, the member offering
such amendment shall provide the fiscal impact note required by such
amendment. If such amendment prevails, the sponsor shall provide a
fiscal impact note for the amended bill before final passage, unless
excepted pursuant to subdivision F of section four hereof.
