Current Costs - Legislative Study
Legislative Study
This amendment allows Legislators on the working group to be compensated.  The projected costs to fund per diem and expenses for the legislators of the working group are $2,100 in fiscal year 2003-04.  The Legislature has budgeted $30,000 in fiscal year 2003-04 for legislative studies.  Whether the amount is sufficient to fund all studies in fiscal year 2003-04 will depend on the number of studies authorized by the Legislative Council and the Legislature.
