Relating to a requirement that the ballot for an election to amend the state constitution include an estimate of the fiscal impact to the state of the proposed amendment.

HB 35 requires the secretary of state to include a fiscal impact estimate on ballots for constitutional amendment elections. The Legislative Budget Board must determine whether an amendment would create recurring or one-time state costs or savings, then provide this estimate to the secretary of state for ballot inclusion. The ballot statement would specify the estimated annual cost/savings or one-time cost/savings amount and duration, based on the Legislative Budget Board's assessment. This directly affects voters by providing concrete fiscal information when casting ballots on constitutional amendments.
