FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections) It is estimated that approximately $150,000 (hiring of addi- tional staff, hearing officers and court reporters) will be needed by the State Board of Elections to implement the requirements of HB 1776, as introduced. However, the presence of several variables presents difficulties in developing a firm assessment of costs. Items such as the number of candidates participating, the number of complaints filed, the number of investigations conducted and the number of audits required will affect the initial and long-range costs.
