 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (State Board of Elections)
 HB 4872 (H-AM 1) would have no fiscal impact on the operations of the State Board of Elections. However, it would have a staffing and fiscal impact on the local election authorities.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Illinois Board of Higher Education)
 The Board of Higher Education (IBHE) contacted all nine public universities to gather cost estimates of HB 4872 (H-AM 1). IBHE received a response from three public universities. Six public universities did not respond. Of those responding, two institutions indicated no cost associated with providing the necessary space. The third institution reported the total cost (or lost rental revenue) for providing a dedicated space for one month to be approximately $5,600.
