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 $172,000 may
be required. |

and Notes |

|
|
|
|
The bill extends
the length of terms for State Senators from two to four years. This would
likely result in some savings to the Legislature beginning in fiscal year
2028-2029 that are assumed to be minor. |
