| Enactment of this legislation could present constitutional issues that would be costly to defend. The possible litigation costs cannot be determined at this time but could be significant. The Assistant Attorney General costs could be absorbed by the Office of the Attorney General. If the legislation was found to be unconstitutional, any attorneys fees awarded would require a General Fund appropriation for that purpose. | ||||||
