| This bill could significantly increase the number of ballot questions that would need to be printed on the state ballot. It is not known how many additional questions would be voted on per election as a result of this legislation. The Secretary of State's budget includes sufficient funds to accommodate one ballot of average length for the general election in November. If the number or size of the referendum questions requires production and delivery of a second ballot, an additional appropriation of $107,250 may be required. | ||||||
