The Honorable Mike Thompson, Chairperson

Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Thompson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 272 by Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 272 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 272 would prescribe the appointment and qualifications of delegates regarding
conventions under Article V of the Constitution of the United States. In addition, the Legislature
would create a Joint Committee of Correspondence that would be responsible for communications
with the delegates.
According to Legislative Administrative Services, the enactment of SB 272 would not have
a fiscal effect for the Legislature, as the bill does not contain a provision allowing for
reimbursement of expenses for delegates or alternative delegates for the convention. The Secretary
of State indicates the enactment of the bill would have no fiscal effect.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
