Co-Chair MacKinnon  addressed the spreadsheet,  and wondered

Vice-Chair Micciche  discussed the attached fiscal  note. He                                                                    
stated  that the  fiscal  note was  from  the Department  of                                                                    
Revenue (DOR), Taxation and  Treasury was the appropriation,                                                                    
and the Tax  Division was the allocation.  The OMB component                                                                    
number was 2476. He remarked  that there was zero impact for                                                                    
FY  16 through  FY 21,  but  the FY  16 showed  a change  in                                                                    
revenues of  minus $5,000. The estimated  supplemental FY 15                                                                    
cost  was zero,  and the  estimated  capital for  FY 16  was                                                                    
zero.  The   fiscal  impact  was  intended   to  not  impact                                                                    
taxpayers. The  estimated loss of  general fund  revenue was                                                                    
due to  a decrease in tax  penalty and interest as  a result                                                                    
of filing and  on-time payments. The timely  pay credit loss                                                                    
was estimated at $2,500, and  the estimated penalty loss was                                                                    
estimated at $2,500, with interest less than $50.

RECONVENED                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                
Co-Chair MacKinnon discussed the following day's agenda.                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
Co-Chair Kelly queried the session's total fiscal impact.                                                                       
                                                                                                                                
Co-Chair MacKinnon responded that, until the passage of SB
33, there had been zero fiscal impact.                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
Vice-Chair Micciche felt that SB 33 should not be                                                                               
considered of great fiscal impact, because it would
