  1. The chairman of any committee of either house of the General Assembly shall request the state auditor to prepare and furnish a fiscal note for each bill referred to such committee which would change the compensation or allowances of any elected or appointed state official, officer, or department or agency head. This Code section shall apply only if such compensation or allowances are to be paid either wholly or in part from state funds.
  2. It shall be the duty of the state auditor to compile and furnish such fiscal notes as may be requested by the chairman of any committee of either house of the General Assembly. Such fiscal notes shall contain a statement of the present compensation and allowances of the official, officer, or department or agency head, any present longevity increments, and any personal expense allowances, other than mileage and travel expenses, and shall contain a statement of the proposed increase or change in such compensation, allowances, or increments, with the total cost of such changes. Such fiscal notes shall be printed by the Clerk of the House of Representatives or the Secretary of the Senate and shall be distributed to members of the General Assembly prior to a vote being taken on such bill in either house of the General Assembly.
