Fiscal Note
Potential future biennium Legislative cost increase - General Fund
Legislative Cost/Study
Eliminating the repeal of the Institute could result in future year costs for the Legislature. The Legislature's 2024-2025 biennial budget includes funding of $100,000 per year for the Institute that is one-time and will not be reflected in the Legislature's 2026-2027 baseline budget. While some of the funds appropriated to date may carryover into future years to fund the costs of the Institute, the Legislature will likely need 2026-2027 appropriations to fund the ongoing costs of the Institute.
