No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The Secretary of State reports that the bill will not have a significant fiscal impact on the agency. The Office of Court Administration does not anticipate any significant fiscal impact to the court system resulting from the bill. The bill would take effect immediately if receiving a two-thirds vote of each house, otherwise the bill would take effect September 1, 2013.
