Financial Estimate Committee Process
The FEC typically holds several meetings to draft financial impact statements. The initial financial impact statement must be filed by
July 27, 2026. The FEC consults with the Legislative Revenue Office (LRO) to determine if the measure has potentially significant indirect economic or fiscal effects which can be estimated.
