Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
We anticipate that Executive Branch agencies of the State of West Virginia and the various county governments already maintain a Website presence and will be able to meet the requirements of the proposed legislation at little or no additional costs. However, many of the smaller municipalities in the State may incur additional new expenditures to meet the requirements of the proposed Bill; however, we have no detailed information available to us which would allow us to ascertain, with any level of certainty, what the level of the additional efforts and attending costs might be.
Memorandum
We have no additional comments with regard to the proposed legislation.
