Explanation
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
This resolution 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. 2021HJ-00059-R00LCO09505-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
The cost identified above is one-time. However, the FY 23 cost may
be shifted into FY 25 pursuant to the requirements of the constitutional
amendment process.
