An agency shall, when submitting any proposed rule except an emergency rule, include a fiscal note. The fiscal note shall state what effect, if any, the proposed rule will have on the revenues, expenditures, or fiscal liability of the state or its agencies and subdivisions. The fiscal note shall include an explanation of how such effect, if any, was computed.

The Bureau of Finance and Management shall prepare its own fiscal note and serve it on the agency, the director and the cochairmen of the Joint Appropriations Committee prior to hearing. If a proposed rule has a negative fiscal impact on a political subdivision, the agency shall direct the bureau to transmit a copy of the bureau’s fiscal note to the South Dakota Municipal League, the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, and the South Dakota County Commissioners Association, prior to the hearing.
