		Upon the request of the sponsor of any bill described in subsection
(a) of Section 2, the Director of the Department of Corrections, or any person

designated a Correctional Budget and Impact Note and shall be furnished to the
sponsor within 10 calendar days thereafter, except that whenever, because of
the complexity of the bill, additional time is required for the preparation
of the note, the Department of Corrections or Administrative Office of the

extension shall not extend beyond May 15 following the date of the request.

Sec. 4. 
		
		Whenever the sponsor of any measure is of the opinion that

		The note shall be factual in nature, as brief and concise as

and dollar impact, as is possible under the circumstances.  The note shall
include both the immediate effect, and if determinable or reasonably
foreseeable,
the long-range effect of the measure.
If, after careful investigation, it is determined that no population or
dollar estimate is possible, the note shall contain a statement to that
effect, setting forth the reasons why no such estimate can be given.  A
brief summary or work sheet of computations used in arriving at the Budget
and Impact Note figures
shall be supplied.

The work sheet shall include, insofar as practicable, a breakdown of the
costs upon which the note is based.  Such breakdown shall include, but need
not be limited to, costs of personnel, room and board, and capital outlay.
The note shall also include such other information as is required by the
rules and regulations which may be promulgated by each house of the General
Assembly with respect to the preparation of such notes.
The note shall be prepared in quintuplicate and the original of both the
note and the work sheet shall be signed by the Director of the Department
of Corrections or such person as the Director may designate or by the
Director
of the Administrative Office of the
