    Enacts new GS 120-36.17 to require each introduced bill or resolution that proposes a study or evaluation by the Program Evaluation Division (PED) to also include an attached impact statement, which estimates the number of personnel, number of hours, and estimated costs required to complete the study or evaluation proposed. Provides that if PED is unable to undertake the study as part of its current work plan, PED must indicate another timeframe for the study. Requires PED to prepare the impact statement within two weeks of the request, and allows for extension. Amends GS 120-36.13(a) (PED work plan), requiring the study or evaluation to be included in the next annual PED work plan with a one year reporting extension if the enacted legislation did not include an impact statement, unless the PED did not provide the statement within the specified time period.
