Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The elimination of the petition process for obtaining qualified status for a political party will avoid some administrative costs that would be incurred by the Office of the Secretary of State and municipalities, if a political party chooses that method to obtain qualified status.  The amount and the timing of the savings can not be determined as these avoided costs are unbudgeted.
