Rhode Island H7421 mandates annual reporting of state mandate costs and requires a report on partially funded and unfunded school district costs.

Rhode Island H7421 amends the state aid provisions to enhance transparency. It requires the Department of Revenue to submit a report each year detailing the costs of state mandates established after 1979, to be reimbursed for the previous fiscal year. The Budget Office must include these costs in the state budget proposal. The state treasurer then distributes reimbursements to cities and towns as appropriated.
