Honorable Joan Huffman, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1115 by Campbell (Relating to a program allowing certain military voters on active duty overseas to cast a ballot electronically.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Election Code to permit counties to participate in a program, operated by the Secretary of State, relating to certain military voters on active duty overseas to cast a ballot electronically.
The Secretary of State indicates that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.
The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote in each house. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Local Government Impact
It is assumed that a county would desire to participate in the program only if the funds are available.
