[§23-11]  New special or revolving
funds.  Within five days after the deadline for the introduction of bills
in each legislative session, the clerks of each house of the legislature shall
transmit, to the legislative auditor for analysis, copies of all legislative
bills that were introduced in their respective houses during that session that
propose to establish new special or revolving funds.



The criteria to be used by the auditor in
analyzing each legislative bill shall include, but not be limited to, the
extent to which the fund:



(1)  Serves the purpose for which it is being created;
and



(2)  Reflects a clear link between the benefit sought
and changes made upon the users or beneficiaries of the program, as opposed to
serving primarily as a means to provide the program or users with an automatic
means of support which is removed from the normal budget and appropriations
process.



Each analysis shall set forth the probable effects
of the proposed fund and shall also assess alternative forms of funding.



No later than thirty days prior to the
adjournment sine die of each legislative session, the legislative auditor shall
submit the analysis of each transmitted legislative bill to each house of the
legislature. [L 1990, c 240, §2]
