Fiscal Analysis Services & Economic Development Incentives

Fiscal Analysis Services provides the General Assembly with "second-opinion" reviews of executive branch fiscal impact statements, fiscal impact reviews of executive orders, annual reviews of state spending, evaluations of proposed health insurance mandates, and special reports related to the state budget. Fiscal Analysis Services is also available to respond to ad hoc requests by General Assembly members and other legislative staff, as determined by the JLARC chairman or director. 

JLARC also is responsible for evaluating the state’s economic development incentives—grants, tax credits, sales tax exemptions, and other incentives  (authorized through continuing language in the Appropriations Act).  JLARC annually reports on all economic development incentives and produces in-depth studies on specific incentives.
