Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
After reviewing and considering the requirements of the proposed legislation, the State Auditor’s Office believes that the incorporation of the required information into the State Auditor’s Searchable Budget Data Website can be done by existing staff within the State Auditor’s Office. We believe there would be little or no additional costs to the public, above and beyond, the normal salaries and benefits paid to staff who would assume this development project as a part of their normal, ongoing job duties. However, the ability of the State Auditor to develop and incorporate the required data called for in the proposed Bill is contingent upon the cooperation of the West Virginia Department of Education in supplying the necessary data to populate and drive the functionality of the Website, as well as, update the Website on the basis prescribed in the proposed legislation which is at least once each fiscal year not later than 30 days following the end of the Fiscal Year.
Memorandum
We note that several other State agencies are impacted by the various provisions of the proposed Bill and a full and complete analysis of the fiscal impacts of the Bill would require review of the various accompanying Fiscal Notes prepared and submitted by these other State agencies as well.
