An assessment of the number of jobs to be generated or lost by the bill if it should become law; a determination as to how many of these jobs are short-term and temporary in nature, how many are of a long-term and more permanent nature, and the skills which, if developed in the workforce, might further the purpose of the legislation and increase the permanency of these jobs;
b. An assessment of the bill's impact on entrepreneurial activity, interstate commerce, international trade and development of new markets; and
c. A cost benefit analysis of the initiative proposed by the legislation, which shall compare and examine the cost of the initiative and its impact on the State, the number of jobs to be generated or lost, the cost of maintaining those jobs and the impact of those jobs generated or lost on the economic climate of the State.
