No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The Office of the Attorney General estimates that the bill would generate approximately two additional requests for an attorney general opinion in the next biennium; however, it is projected that current resources could absorb this increase.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house. Otherwise, it would take effect on September 1, 2005.

Local Government Impact

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