Legislative Cost/Study 
. 
The general operating expenses of this study are projected to be $1,400 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $7,080 in fiscal 
year 2024-25, The Legislature's budget for the 2024-2025 biennium includes $14,500 in each of fiscal years 2023-24 
and 2024-25 for the costs of legislative studies, as well as $38,909 of balances carried over from prior years for this 
purpose, Whether these amounts are sufficient to fund all studies will depend on the number of studies authorized by 
the Legislative Council and the Legislature. This fiscal impact assumes members will attend 2 meetings in person each 
month through July 4, 2026. If the legislative members of the commission attend more than 2 meetings in person each 
month, the cost for each additional meeting is $240 if the meeting is held during the legislative session and $350 if the 
meeting is held during the interim when the legislature is not in session,
