The Honorable Elaine Bowers, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Ethics, Elections and Local Government
Statehouse, Room 223-E
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Bowers:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 116 by Senate Committee on Ethics, Elections and Local
Government
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 116 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 116 would amend existing law to make any petition submitted for the purpose of a
political party seeking official recognition null and void unless it is submitted to the Secretary of
State within one year of the date of the first signature on the petition. The bill would also make
technical corrections to existing law.
According to the Office of the Secretary of State, enactment of SB 116 would have no
fiscal effect on the agency, nor would it have a fiscal effect on the county election offices.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Division of the Budget
