Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This amendment adds the unfunded mandate described above.  As amended here, the bill would also continue to have the funded mandate described in the fiscal note for the committee amendment, which could now be avoided by the new option to waive.  If either of the choices were mandate-free (they are not), then neither would be a mandate as there would be a mandate-free way to avoid the otherwise mandated activities.  If a viable choice is available there is no requirement.
