(1) The
office of the superintendent of public instruction shall, where
it is practicable to do so within available resources, prepare
school district fiscal notes on proposed legislation that
increases or decreases, or tends to increase or decrease, school
district revenues or expenditures in a manner that uniquely
affects school districts. Proposed legislation that uniquely
affects school districts includes, but is not limited to,
legislation that affects school districts' responsibilities as
providers of educational services under this title, as employers
under chapter 41.59 RCW, or as excess levy taxing authorities
under RCW 84.52.053 and 84.52.0531, but excludes proposed
legislation that affects school districts only in the same manner
that it affects other units of local government.
(2) Where practicable, the school district fiscal note shall
show the fiscal impact of the proposed legislation on each school
district. Where it is not practicable to do so, the school
district fiscal note shall show the effect of the legislation on
a range of representative school districts. The fiscal note must
set forth any assumptions that were used in selecting the
representative districts, along with any other assumptions made
about the fiscal impact.
(3) School district fiscal notes prepared under this section
are subject to coordination by the office of financial management
under RCW 43.88A.020 and are otherwise subject to the
requirements and procedures of chapter 43.88A RCW.
