Fiscal Impact Statements

A fiscal impact statement (FIS) is an estimate of the impact a bill or resolution has on the District government’s revenues and expenditures. It analyzes the costs that would result from the enactment of legislation, and whether or not resources in the District’s four-year budget and financial plan are sufficient to implement the legislation. For more information, see Fiscal Impact Statements: A Guide for Council Staff.

The OCFO’s Office of Revenue Analysis prepares the fiscal impact statements for permanent legislation and for emergency legislation introduced on behalf of the Mayor. These are stored in the OCFO FIS database. The Council’s Office of the Budget Director prepares the fiscal impact statements for emergency and temporary measures introduced by Councilmembers and for amendments to legislation.

The database below includes fiscal impact statements issued by the Office of the Budget Director since September 22, 2020.
