| IN RE: | HJR27 by Naishtat (Proposing a constitutional amendment to require a house or committee of the legislature to take a record vote on certain legislative measures and actions.), As Introduced |
Both the House and the Senate estimate there would be some costs to publish record votes, but neither can quantify the costs.
The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $66,497.
The joint resolution requires a record vote by either house of the legislature or committee of either house on approval or disapproval of a bill, joint resolution, amendments or substitutes, appointment or election of a legislative officer or other public official, or the confirmation of an appointment to public office. Record votes shall be published in the journals and committee minutes of each house and on the Internet or accessible successor electronic communications system.
