Fiscal Detail and Notes
	If approved by the voters, this bill will result in savings to the Legislature in amounts that can not be determined at this time.  The level of potential savings would depend on the salary paid to legislators, the number of staff that will be needed to support the Legislature, how many times the Legislature would be called in and convened at other times and whether committees would be required to meet more often or on a regular basis during the interim.
