FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the proposal would not have a fiscal impact on their agency. However, DOR does believe that this proposal would duplicate efforts of an existing advisory board under the Office of Administration - Office of Information Technology entitled the "Information Technology Advisory Board". DOR states that this board has formed several committees and subcommittees, one of which is an "E-Government" Committee. The committee includes representatives from the following agencies: Department of Social Services, Office of Information Technology, Office of Administration, Department of Revenue, State Treasurers' Office, State Courts Administrator's Office, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Secretary of State.



Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Office of Administration - divisions of Budget and Planning and Office of Information Technology assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their respective agencies.



Officials from the Department of Economic Development did not respond to our request for fiscal impact.

Oversight assumes members of the committee will be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred and would total roughly $5,000 per fiscal year.
