| The projected ongoing costs to fund the general operating expenses of the Joint Standing or Joint Select Committee on Sunset Review to meet two times between legislative sessions to conduct the required statutory sunset review is projected to be $4,000 in each 2nd Regular Session and $3,250 for each 1st Regular Session. If it is necessary for the committee to meet more than 2 times, the estimated cost for each additional meeting is $1,625. The Legislature's proposed Part I budget includes $65,000 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $60,125 in fiscal year 2006-07 for a total of 32 interim committee meeting days for policy committees for each year of the biennium. Whether the amounts are sufficient to fund all policy committee meetings will depend on the number of policy committee meetings authorized by the Legislative Council and the Legislature. | |||||||||
