OTHER FISCAL IMPACT
For any meeting that takes place outside of legislative session, there will be an increase in state
expenditures of $5,500 per meeting. The number and timing of any such meetings are unknown;
therefore, any fiscal impact cannot be reasonably determined.

five members from the House of Representatives.
