FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections) It is estimated that approximately $150,000 for new hirees will be needed by the Board to implement HB 1913. Several variables present difficulties in developing a firm assessment of costs. Items such as the number of candidates participating, the num- ber of complaints filed, the number of investigations conducted and the number of audits required will affect initial and long- range costs.
