(1)  At such regular or special times and on such forms as the Legislative Budget Office may require, every tax or fee-collecting or other revenue-producing agency shall furnish the Legislative Budget Office with complete and detailed information as to the amount of revenue collected or otherwise received by it during the then current fiscal year, together with an estimate of the revenue that is anticipated for such succeeding periods as the Legislative Budget Office may require. In addition, each state agency that maintains funds in accounts that are not in the State Treasury shall furnish the Legislative Budget Office with detailed information about the amount of those funds that the agency has on hand and the location of those funds. 

(2)  At such regular or special times and on such forms as the State Fiscal Officer may require, every tax or fee-collecting or other revenue-producing agency shall furnish the Department of Finance and Administration with complete and detailed information as to the amount of revenue collected or otherwise received by it during the then current fiscal year, together with an estimate of the revenue that is anticipated for such succeeding periods as the board may require. The information required to be furnished under this section shall include all revenues from every fee, penalty, tax, assessment or other charge levied, whether authorized by law or not, and shall further include an itemized statement by the agency of the costs of services for which fees are charged, comparing the costs with revenues generated by the fees. 

(3)  The State Fiscal Officer shall review the information so furnished and report to the Legislature any fees that do not appear to be reasonably calculated to recover the costs of services for which the fees are charged, and any fees that are collected without legal authority.
