No fiscal impact to the state is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

SB 2077 would require an examiner who discovers an error in connection with a preliminary wage determination order to reconsider and redetermine the order. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that an order in such a case is based on the most accurate information.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Although this is somewhat of a procedural bill it does have a positive impact on our limited government principle. A determination in connection with a wage dispute should be rendered based upon complete and accurate facts. If an error is discovered, the determination should be made based on the corrected information and not the erroneous information. For these reasons we support SB 2077.
