John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HJR24 by Pickett (Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing elections for the recall of independent school district trustees.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated, other than the cost of publication.
The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $85,275.
The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to authorize local elections for the recall of independent school district trustees. The proposed constitutional amendment would be submitted to voters at an election to be held November 4, 2003.
Local Government Impact
If the resolution were to pass and if a recall election were to be held by a school district, the total cost of the recall election would vary by school district depending on the size of the district and if the election is held jointly with any other political subdivision.
