Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS09702 

The purpose of this legislation is to eliminate the Secretary 
of State's "commercial affairs" dedicated account, and thereby 
require all Secretary of State revenues to be deposited into 
the general fund. The "commercial affairs" account was 
established in 1992 to establish a revenue source outside the 
general fund to fund capital expenditures. After considering 
the continued necessity and viability of this dedicated account, 
the Secretary of State office has concluded that the extra
programming costs and record keeping involved in tracking two 
accounts (general and dedicated) is not necessary. In regard 
to capital expenditures needs, the legislature has responded 
when a need has been demonstrated.

                           FISCAL NOTE

This legislation should result in a $700,000 gain to the general 
fund in F.Y. 2001, as well as $500,000 positive cash flow to the 
general fund on an annual basis.
