Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Minor cost increase - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill requires the State Planning Office (SPO) to provide economic modeling to the Commission to Study Energy Infrastructure.  Current SPO modeling capabilities allow SPO to provide this service at minor costs to be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
	The Commission to Study Energy Infrastructure has concluded its work and submitted its final report.  Assuming that there is no intent for the commission to hold additional meetings and submit a new report, this bill would not have a fiscal impact on the Legislature.
