Memorandum
We are unable to accurately estimate the administrative cost of this proposal. However, significant programming changes would have to be completed, forms/booklet would have to be revised and additional staff time spent reviewing this change in our Law. Our best estimates would be $50,000 in staff cost and $25,000 in nonpersonal expenses.
