Officials from Jackson County assume that depending upon judicial interpretation this proposal would not include Jackson County, however, if the proposal would include Jackson County officials assume no fiscal impact. Officials assume that the duty of conducting elections would be returned to the county clerk. Officials from the Board of Election Commissioners of Clay County assume that the duty of conducting elections would be returned to the County Clerk.
Officials assume no fiscal impact.
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal. The bill repeals the requirement that Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties maintain a board of election commissioners. They are still permitted to have a board. This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
