IN RE:	SJR48 by Ogden (Proposing a constitutional amendment to limit the time during which a person who holds an appointive position that is subject to senate confirmation on a multimember state board or commission continues to perform the duties of the office after the expiration of the person's term of office.), 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 $77,468.

The resolution would prohibit a person who holds an appointive position whose term expires during a regular session of the legislature and whose position is subject to Senate confirmation from serving past the end of the session. Likewise, if the person's term expires during a recess of the Senate, the person cannot serve past the end of the next regular session.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
