ASSUMPTION

State Courts Administrator officials noted that since Commission
recommendations are subject to legislative action, the proposal would not
directly affect the budget of the judiciary.

Officials from the office of the Governor , the Office of Administration -
Division of Accounting, the Senate and the House of Representatives stated
that the proposal would not affect their offices, administratively.

the proposed commission at random.  That procedure cost about $250.  The cost
would not be incurred in FY 01.

Advertisement costs for the proposal would be $3,990 per newspaper column
inch for three publications of the text of the proposal, the introduction,
title, fiscal note summary, and affidavit.  The proposal would be on the
