Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This legislation would require municipal registrars to make available to an elected office holder information concerning voters.  This requirement would require a one-time Federal Expenditures Fund allocation to the Department of Secretary of State of $3,200 in fiscal year 2013-14 for programming changes to the Central Voter Registration System to create the required report.  It is estimated that 40 hours of programming would be required at a  rate of $80 per hour.  The department will use existing Help America Vote Act funding for this programming.
