On page 58, after line 4, insert the following:

"The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations: Sufficient funding is provided within this section for implementation of House Bill No. 1411 (assumed revenues). Subject to enactment and consistent with the provisions of House Bill No. 1411 (assumed revenues), forecasted revenues assumed in budget outlooks prepared by the economic and revenue forecast council must use the official general fund and related funds revenue forecast for the ensuing biennium."

EFFECT: Provides that appropriations for the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council (ERFC) are sufficient to implement the provisions of HB 1411. Requires the ERFC, subject to and consistent with the enactment of House Bill 1411, to prepare budget outlooks using forecasted NGF-O revenues that are based on the official revenue forecast for the ensuing biennium rather than adjusting forecasted NGF-O revenues to the greater of (i) the official revenue forecast for the ensuing biennium, or (ii) the official forecast for the second fiscal year of the current fiscal biennium, increased by 4.5 percent for each fiscal year of the ensuing biennium.

FISCAL IMPACT (2025 Supplemental):
No net change to appropriated levels.

FISCAL IMPACT (2025-27):
No net change to appropriated levels.

FOUR-YEAR OUTLOOK EFFECT:
Expenditures: No net change to appropriated levels. No direct change to resources. Preparing outlooks in accordance with HB 1411 would impact NGF-O resources assumed in budget outlooks. The impact will be variable based on the applicable revenue forecast done at the time a budget outlook is prepared.
