General assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their
agency.

No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of
this proposal.


DESCRIPTION

The proposal would establish that any Supreme Court Administrative Rule which
conflicts with any law enacted by the General Assembly would be void and
unenforceable.  Specifically, the proposal would establish that
Administrative Rules 6.05 and 14.01 of the Supreme Court are to be declared
null and void.

The proposal contains an emergency clause.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
