Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


We have examined the requirements of the proposed legislation and we believe the State Auditor’s Office can implement the provisions of the Bill with current staff and at no additional cost. We also believe the Bill, if passed, would potentially result in additional revenues to the state in the form of court-ordered restitutions; however, we have no historical data which would provide us the ability to reasonably estimate what those potential revenue impacts might be.



Memorandum


We have no additional comments regarding the proposed legislation.
