Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Any cost impacts of this bill are contingent on the State or a municipality enacting a future law or ordinance imposing a moratorium on evictions of tenants for nonpayment of rent. If the State or a municipality enacts such a moratorium, requiring the State or municipality to reimburse landlords for rental income not received for the duration of the moratorium will create costs to the General Fund or the municipality. As it is not known whether the State or a municipality may enact this type of law or ordinance, nor the extent to which tenents may choose to stop paying rent, no estimate of cost can be made at this time.
