Explanation
This amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
This amendment proposes a constitutional amendment. The
Secretary of the State is anticipated to incur a cost of $5,000 in FY 23 (for
the November 2022 election) for providing posters with the proposed
constitutional amendment question and explanation to each polling
place in every municipality. This cost will cover the printing and
mailing of the posters.
As all materials required for placing a constitutional amendment on
the ballot are supplied by the State, and the vote will occur on the same
day as a regularly scheduled statewide election, no costs will be
incurred by municipalities.
