 Correctional Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Corrections)
 There are no penalty enhancements associated with this bill. The bill would have no fiscal or population impact on the Department of Corrections.

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

 Judicial Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 This bill would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.

 Balanced Budget Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)
 This Bill does not have any anticipated significant fiscal impact.

 Home Rule Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 HB 4609 (H-AM 1) does not pre-empt home rule authority.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 HB 4609 (H-AM 1) does not create a State mandate.

 Pension Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 This bill will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 HB 4609 (H-AM 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.

 Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Housing Development Authority)
 While the bill has no impact, cost of homeownership may increase depending on resulting action that the Illinois General Assembly may take after a study is completed.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of the State Fire Marshal)
 House Bill 4609, as amended by HA #1, requires the Office of the State Fire Marshal ("OSFM" or "the Agency") to provide administrative and other support to the Task Force on Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Education ("Task Force"). The costs to the Agency would include, but may not be limited to, reimbursements to Task Force members for travel costs, costs for court reporters for the Task Force meetings, and costs for staff to support the Task Force. Since the legislation does not indicate the frequency of Task Force meetings, it is difficult for OSFM to determine an exact fiscal impact. The legislation could have a significant impact on the Agency's operations given the fact that funding for the Task Force has not been included in the Agency's budget.
