Explanation
This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit
enactment of any law that denies or infringes on personal reproductive
autonomy and freedom unless there is a compelling state interest, and
it can be achieved by the least restrictive means.
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
proposed constitutional amendment question and explanation to each
polling place in every municipality. This cost will cover the printing and
mailing of the posters.
Since 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 cost will be
incurred by municipalities.
The Out Years
The cost identified above is one-time. However, the FY 23 cost may 2022SJ-00030-R000389-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
be shifted into FY 25 pursuant to the requirements of the constitutional
amendment process.
