Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB902 by Hughes (Relating to public availability of election records.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Based on analysis by the Secretary of State, the provisions of the bill relating to publically posting elections records would result in one-time implementation costs and ongoing maintenance and support costs for the Texas Elections Administration Management (TEAM) system and the agency's public website. It is assumed that these costs could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
