Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation removes the exception in current law related to filing an application to change party enrollment in the event the person changes residence from one municipality to another.  This removal would require a one-time Federal Expenditures Fund allocation to the Department of Secretary of State of $6,400 in fiscal year 2013-14 for programming changes to the Central Voter Registration System.  It is estimated that 80 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.
