Officials from the Office of the Governor stated this proposal would have no direct costs to the Governor's Office.
Office from the Office of the Senate (SEN) stated this proposal would have no fiscal impact as it related to SEN or minimal costs which could be absorbed by present appropriations.

SOS estimates the total number of inches for this amendment to be 10 inches, which includes title header and certification paragraph. $3,684 x 10 inches = $36,840.
Officials from the Department of Education (DESE) provided information regarding total expenditures for the current eight members of the state board of education. Included in these expenditures is a $25/day statutory per diem. Also included in this total are the annual NASBE ASSUMPTION (continued)

DESE assumes the department would see increased expenses of at least $5,739 per year (increased 3% per year for inflation) for the additional board member.
FY 2005 Average annual expenditure per board member $5,739
FY 2006 Average annual expenditure per board member $5,911
FY 2007 Average annual expenditure per board member $6,089
Oversight assumes, based on FY 2003 data showing average expenditure per board member to be $4,639, factoring for inflation would result in the following average annual expenditure per board member: FY 2005 - $4,778; FY 2006 - $4,921; FY 2007 - $5,059. Oversight also assumes the new board member would be serving at most six months of FY 2005, making the expenditure $2,389 for FY 2005.

DESCRIPTION
Currently, the State Board of Education constitutes eight lay members whose terms of office are eight years each. Subject to voter approval, this proposed resolution changes from eight to six the number of lay members on the board. Further, the resolution alters the length of such terms to three years, with one reappointment possible. Also, the act seeks to alter from four to three the number of lay members which may be affiliated with any major political party. Lastly, the resolution seeks to add three active classroom teachers to the board, the terms of whom shall be three years with no reappointment potential.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
