No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Election Code to require specific-purpose committees created to support or oppose a measure on the issuances of bonds by a school district to file reports with the Ethics Commission. The agency estimates there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill. It is assumed that these costs could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
