Austin, Texas
 
FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 13, 2005

TO:
Honorable Robert Duncan, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2322 by Anchia (Relating to the electronic administration of state funds used for voter registration.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Election Code to require the Secretary of State to establish and maintain an online electronic system for administering voucher submissions and warrant issuances related to voter registration financing. It is anticipated that existing resources could absorb any costs required to implement the provisions of the bill.

Local Government Impact

Costs to local election registrars to implement the provisions of the bill would depend upon the online electronic system designed and operated by the Office of the Secretary of State. Initial outlays for computer equipment could possibly be offset by savings on postage.
