- Adoption of this measure would result in costs to state and local governments for
implementation and enforcement of new campaign finance limitations in the range of up to $4
million annually.
- The measure would result in unknown, but probably not significant, additional state and local
election costs.
- The measure would result in additional tax revenues to the state of about $6 million annually
due to the elimination of the tax deduction for lobbying expenses.
