(1) The office shall prepare a revenue estimate of any
change in law affecting revenues and receipts, including
increases in regulatory fees, proposed or considered as part
of the annual State budget. If the proposed change in law
will have a fiscal impact in excess of $10,000,000 in any
fiscal year, the estimate shall be prepared on the basis of
assumptions that estimate the probable behavioral responses
of taxpayers, businesses and other persons to the proposed
changes and shall include a statement identifying those
assumptions. The information may be used to revise the
revenue estimate under [subsection (a)] section 1704-E(a) of
the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The
Fiscal Code.
(2) The office shall prepare, if requested by an officer
listed in section 615-B(a), a revenue estimate of any change
in law affecting revenues and receipts, including increases
in regulatory fees, that may be expected to carry a fiscal
impact in excess of $10,000,000 in any fiscal year, proposed
or considered as part of a bill or amendment in either House
of the General Assembly. If the proposed change in law will
have a fiscal impact in excess of $10,000,000 in any fiscal
year, the estimate shall be prepared on the basis of
assumptions that estimate the probable behavioral responses
of taxpayers, businesses and other persons to the proposed
changes and shall include a statement identifying those
assumptions. The information may be used to revise the
revenue estimate under section 1704-E(a) of the act of April

the same manner as if the revenue estimate had been attached
to the bill or amendment.
