         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SJR36 ( Proposing 
a constitutional amendment to allow municipal court judges to 
hold more than one civil office of emolument.) this office has 
detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SJR36-As Introduced
         

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated, 
other than the cost of publication.  The cost to the state for 
publication of the resolution is $71,000.
         

         
 
          
It is expected that some savings would result for cities which 
were able to share the cost of employing a municipal court judge.
