HB 250 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to campaign contributions and expenditures.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of State and Department of Justice state this bill, as introduced, will have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state expenditures in FY 2014 and each year thereafter. This bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue, or county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of State (DOS) states this bill would create a new campaign finance program that would fund election campaigns for eligible candidates. The Department notes the complete fiscal impact is indeterminable at this time because it does not have enough information about the program. However, the Department estimates needing at least one position at Labor Grade 23 to carry out this new program. The table below shows the additional personnel costs related to this new program.
FY 2014

TOTAL POSITION COSTS

The Department of Justice (DOJ) states this bill creates a new statutory section but has no penalty provision so the general election penalty provisions would apply. DOJ states it does not have any information on how many additional investigations and prosecutions would result from the new law so it cannot determine the complete fiscal impact. DOJ anticipates working with DOS to develop procedures and any costs would be absorbed by DOJ’s regular budget. DOJ states contributions would be subject to review and audit. If the DOJ is responsible for conducting and funding such audits, an auditor would need to be hired. The table below shows the potential personnel and other expenditure costs related to this new program.
FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017

Current Expenses & Equipment $4,950 $750 $750 $750
TOTAL POSITION COSTS $87,985 $89,583 $95,490 $101,530
This bill does not contain an appropriation or authorization for any new positions.
