Explanation of Local Expenditures: Prosecutor Review Board: The bill creates a prosecutor review board
to investigate allegations against noncompliant prosecuting attorneys, with five members appointed by the
IPAC board of directors. Each member serves a four-year term and may be reappointed, but will not receive
state reimbursement for travel or other related expenses. The board shall issue a report to both IPAC and the
alleged prosecutor, and the new requirements are expected to be implemented using existing resources.
Special Prosecutor: Any additional expenditures for the appointing county will depend on the decisions of
the prosecutor review board, the appointed judge, and the appointed special prosecutor. The county where
