Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapters 301, 316, 317, and 403 of the Government Code, and Chapter 253 of the Election Code, to make changes that would reflect annual sessions of the Legislature and annual state budgets. The bill would take effect September 1, 2013, but only if the constitutional amendment proposed by the 82nd Legislature is approved by the voters. If the proposed amendment is not approved by the voters, the bill would have no effect.
Methodology
The cost for the per diem of the members of the legislature is estimated to be $1.74 million for the 60 day budget session. The House and Senate would require an additional 53 FTE's and associated costs are estimated to be $414,856. Legislative Council would require an additional 7 FTEs and associated costs and administrative costs are estimated to be $453,000 in the even numbered years and $107,000 in the odd numbered years. This analysis assumes a 60 day budget session. A 30 day extension would increase these costs.
