OFA Fiscal Note
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal impact. The amendment does not result in a fiscal impact to the state or municipalities as it maintains current coverage for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, it is uncertain what if any future impact the DSM-V will have on the coverage and services provided to individuals currently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and therefore the impact to the state and municipalities, as the DSM-V has not been published.
The preceding Fiscal Impact statement is prepared for the benefit of the members of the General Assembly, solely for the purposes of information, summarization and explanation and does not represent the intent of the General Assembly or either chamber thereof for any purpose. In general, fiscal impacts are based upon a variety of informational sources, including the analyst's professional knowledge. Whenever applicable, agency data is consulted as part of the analysis, however final products do not necessarily reflect an assessment from any specific department.
