OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
This bill requires the State Elections Enforcement Commission to
amend the Citizens’ Election Program (CEP) to permit expenditures
for certain child care services. Expanding permissible expenditures to
include child care services has no fiscal impact as the bill does not alter
grant awards to qualified candidates.
The bill also requires the Department of Administrative Services
(DAS) to create a system for individuals to electronically submit their
name for consideration to be a member of a board or commission. This
system must be on the state’s website with information about
membership requirements. DAS shall create, maintain and make the
website accessible to the public. This has no fiscal impact as DAS has
the information technology staff to handle these responsibilities.
The bill also requires the Secretary of the State to publish a report on
the gender and racial composition of certain state boards and
commissions and to compare this information with the state's gender
and racial composition. This has no fiscal impact. 2021SB-00883-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
Senate “A” requires that DAS maintain the online system on the
state, rather than the department, website, and adds the provisions on
(1) the U.S. census population data; (2) appointee education and
outreach strategies; and (3) data maintenance, analysis, and reporting
by the secretary of the state. Senate "A" has no fiscal impact.
