IN RE:
HB1163 by Denny (Relating to the filing fee for a candidate for certain offices on the general primary election ballot.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill amends Election Code to specify a filing fee for the office of district clerk. No significant gain to the state is anticipated because the change in law would add 20 district clerks to those candidates specified a increased fee of $1,250 from the standard fee of $750 previously charged to all district clerks.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
