Fiscal Detail and Notes
Changing the means by which a political party is recognized could result in significant additional General Fund costs for the Department of the Secretary of State to hold any required primary elections and to prepare necessary ballots and election-related paperwork.  The amounts will depend on the additional number of political parties that may become recognized and can not be determined at this time.
