Information was obtained from the House on the number of non-record votes taken during the 79th Legislature, Regular Session. The number of non-record votes was multiplied by the estimated cost of each record vote ($55.00) to estimate the cost to the state. The Senate estimates that recording every members vote in the journal would require an additional 2/3 of a journal volume to be printed at a cost of approximately $10,000.
The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $77,468.
