Within the Office of the State Auditor, DLM is responsible for determining the local financial impact of proposed or existing state mandates. DLM responds to written requests for opinions and cost impact analysis from cities, towns, regional school districts, and educational collaboratives, as well as the General Court and state agencies. Responses take the form of opinion letters and cost determinations. DLM also provides informal telephone consultation when appropriate.
