The general operating expenses of this study are projected to be $700 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $950 in fiscal year
2024-25. The Legislature’s budget for the 2024-2025 biennium includes $14,500 in each of fiscal years 2023-24 and
2024-25 for the costs of legislative studies, as well as $38,909 of balances carried over from prior years for this
purpose. Whether these amounts are sufficient to fund all studies will depend on the number of studies authorized by
the Legislative Council and the Legislature. The additional costs of providing staffing assistance to the study during
the interim can be absorbed utilizing existing budgeted staff resources.
