FISCAL EFFECT: 1) Total onetime costs of $25 million (GF) to the Information Technology (IT) Department within the SOS over several years to implement new technology changes, hire staff, hire a one-time contractor, and hardware/software/licensing costs. 2) Ongoing annual costs of approximately $6.5 million (GF) to the IT Department for project administration and infrastructure costs. 3) Annual costs of $1.9 million (GF) for the first year and $561,000 (GF) ongoing to the Business Program Division within the SOS for additional staff and increased Office of Administrative Hearings costs. |
