Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 13957
Correct an error in SB1009 from the 2003 legislative session. 
The legislature relied upon the language provided to it in
furtherance of the disclosure time period; however, it is an
error.  Rather than reading "not less than," it should read "not
more than."  
                          FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
