TO:
Honorable Will Hartnett, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HJR87 by Farabee (Proposing a constitutional amendment to include a constitutional county judge on the membership of State Commission on Judicial Conduct.), 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 $66,497.


The State Commission on Judicial Conduct estimates an additional cost of $2,000 per fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2006, for travel and other operating expenses related to passage of HJR 87.  It is assumed that the costs associated with the implementation of this provision could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
