State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) SB 1530, as amended by House Amendment 1, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Transportation) No land conveyances are included in Senate Bill 1530 House Amendment #1; therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.
