The general
operating expenses of this study are projected to be $1,750 in fiscal year
2021-22 and $2,000 in fiscal year 2022-23. The Legislature’s budget for the
2022-2023 biennium includes an estimated $6,108 in fiscal year 2021-22 and
$10,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 for the costs of legislative studies, as well
as $31,260 of balances carried over from prior years for this purpose.
Whether these amounts are sufficient to fund all studies will depend on the
number of studies authorized by the Legislative Council and the Legislature.
The additional costs of providing staffing assistance to the study during the
interim can be absorbed utilizing existing budgeted staff resources. |
