Legislative Cost/Study
The additional costs for meetings of the affected legislative committee to respond to the deadline for review of certain comprehensive land use plans are projected to be $1,625  annually beginning in fiscal year 2009-10.  The Legislature's proposed budget includes $20,000 annually in fiscal year 2009-10 and fiscal year 2010-11 for legislative studies.  Whether the amounts are sufficient to fund all studies will depend on the number of studies authorized by the Legislative Council and the Legislature.  This estimate assumes one additional meeting during the interim between legislative sessions each year.
