Summary of Legislative Analysts Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact:
- If the voters vote yes and approve the state Senate district maps certified by the Citizens Redistricting
Commission, there would be no fiscal effect on state or local governments.
- If the voters vote no and reject the state Senate district maps certified by the Citizens Redistricting Commission, the state would incur a one-time cost of about $500,000 to establish new Senate districts. Counties would incur one-time costs of about $500,000 statewide to develop new precinct maps and related election materials for the new districts.
