The Legislative Fiscal Note Tracking System (FNTS) is a web-based system that manages requests from the legislature for fiscal notes on proposed legislation. Fiscal notes are prepared by state agencies and reviewed by the Legislative Budget Office (LBO). A fiscal note estimates a bill's potential costs, savings, revenue gain, or revenue loss. They help legislators better understand how a bill might impact individual agencies, the state budget as a whole, and in some instances, local governments.
FNTS is a secure system and accessed through the Statewide Administrative Portal. FNTS is under the operational control of the Legislative Budget Office (LBO), but supported and maintained by MMB. The LBO authorizes system access and is the first point of contact for questions or assistance with using FNTS.
