A. The Incentive Evaluation Commission shall ensure that each incentive is evaluated at least once every four (4) years unless the Commission determines that the incentive is exempt from evaluation. The Commission may exempt from evaluation any incentive that it concludes has a minimal fiscal impact. The Commission shall determine a specific threshold amount which shall be considered as a minimal fiscal impact for the current evaluation cycle.
B. By January 1, 2016, and by January 1 each year thereafter, the Incentive Evaluation Commission shall develop a four-year schedule for evaluating incentives. The schedule for evaluating the incentives shall be developed so that the incentives having the highest fiscal impact to the state revenue system, including but not limited to the General Revenue Fund, shall be evaluated before other incentives. Each schedule shall include a list of all incentives in the state, including any it exempts from evaluation. In determining whether a program is an incentive, the Incentive Evaluation Commission may consider legislative intent and may also consider whether the program is promoted as an incentive by any state agency. For each incentive listed in the schedule, the Commission shall attempt to identify the goal or goals of the incentive.
C. Upon approval of the schedule, the Commission shall provide the schedule to the Governor, President Pro Tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
