Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring that school administrative units, counties and municipalities may only exceed spending caps established in Public Law 2005, chapter 2 if approved by the voters at a referendum may result in increased costs to some local units of government that currently do not require referendum votes to approve local budgets.  The amount of increased costs can not be determined at this time.
