Legislative Cost/Study
	The amendment removes the fiscal year 2021-22 costs of the study and increases the fiscal year 2022-23 costs of the study to $3,250. 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.
