(from Ch. 85, par. 2202)
Sec. 2.
Findings and Purpose.
(a) The General Assembly finds that preceding
actions of the State government in specifying the manner, standards, and
conditions under which public services are rendered to citizens by the political
subdivisions of this State on occasion have not resulted in equitable relationships
between the State government and its local political subdivisions. Some
of these actions have dealt in detail with the internal management of local
governments, others have specified the establishment of new services and
facilities without providing any new revenue sources or any financial participation
by the State in meeting the additional costs; still others have specified
the adoption of higher service standards without a full assessment of the
impact upon local expenditures and tax rates.
(b) It is the purpose of this Act:
(1) to provide for the collection and periodic publication of information
on existing and future State and federal mandates;
(2) to enunciate policies, criteria and procedures to govern any future
State-initiated specification of local government services, standards and
employment conditions that has the effect of necessitating increased local
government expenditures in such a way as to accommodate the constitutional
obligations of the State government in addressing problems of State-wide
concern, while avoiding the imposition of State standards upon essentially
local responsibilities without appropriate reimbursement or other appropriate
fiscal participation on the part of the State government; and
(3) to provide for a review of existing mandates and an identification
of the nature and magnitude of corrective action needed to produce a consistent
and equitable framework of State-local relations regarding mandated services,
standards, and expenditures.
