The general
operating expenses of this study are projected to be $2,800 in fiscal year
2023-24 and $2,800 in fiscal year 2024-25. The Legislature’s proposed budget
for the 2024-2025 biennium includes $14,500 in each of fiscal years 2023-24
and 2024-25 for the costs of legislative studies, as well as $2,234 in
projected balances from fiscal year 2022-23 and $36,777 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. |
