Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
We believe the intent of the proposed Bill is to provide a cap for the amounts to be paid by the respective county commissions with regard to the compensation of ballot commissioners, rather than the current fixed amounts as provided in State law. Accordingly, under adoption of the Bill, the current set amounts for compensation of ballot commissioners would become the caps for such compensation with the exception of special elections for a constitutional amendment. While we believe the adoption of the legislation could result in a reduction of expenses on a State-wide basis pertaining to the costs of elections, we are unable to reasonably estimate the likelihood of any such savings or the potential amount of any such savings.
Memorandum
We have no additional comments regarding the proposed Bill.
