Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
After examining the requirements of the proposed legislation, the State Auditor’s Office believes that the costs which would be incurred to facilitate the development of the State Central Legal Advertising Website would amount to approximately $15,000. At this time, we anticipate these costs would be a one-time occurrence to develop the Website and thereafter, the regular maintenance of the Website would be conducted by State Auditor’s Office employees as a part of their routine job duties. Accordingly, no additional ongoing costs would be anticipated until such time as the Website required significant upgrades outside the scope of normal day-to-day operations.
Memorandum
We have no additional comments with regard to this proposed legislation.
