EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION Secretary of State The Department of State may incur minimal ballot processing costs associated with this measure. As a regular practice, the Department of State typically budgets for up to 10 constitutional amendments and statewide propositions for the fall statewide elections. To the extent the ballot includes more than 10 constitutional amendments and statewide propositions, the Department of State may require additional SGF resources for the April 18, 2026, statewide election. Any expenditure impact would be realized in FY 26. REVENUE EXPLANATION There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
