| Undetermined current biennium cost increase - Federal Expenditures Fund | |||||||||

| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| Removing certain exemptions for voting machine requirements is likely to increase Federal Expenditures Fund costs incurred by the Department of the Secretary of State. The amounts will depend on the cost of certain equipment which is not yet available for purchase and can not be determined at this time. If the cost of new voting machine equipment exceeds available Federal Expenditures Fund resources, the incremental cost will have to be borne by the General Fund. | |||||||||
