Changes references concerning the implementation of service mandates, tax exemption mandates, and personnel mandates. Provides that the appropriate State entity shall determine within 90 days after receiving a claim for reimbursement whether the claim is reimbursable under the Act and shall notify each local government filing a claim of its determination.

Removes provisions authorizing direct appeal to the State Mandates Board of Review if the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity does not respond to a claim for reimbursement within 120 days. Provides that members of the State Mandates Board of Review shall have experience in local government finance.
