To the extent any funds are donated this new account will see an increase in appropriated funds. Additionally, this bill abolishes two band 1 stock clerks and establishes two band 2 stock clerks in the archives and records management division of the Secretary of State's office and makes a general fund appropriation to the Secretary of State's office to fund the two band 2 stock clerk III positions. The Department of State indicates the net difference from the abolished positions to funding the new positions is a net impact of less than $5,000 per a fiscal year.
