Provisions of this bill could increase costs to counties. For a county of the first class, these costs are estimated to be $137,000 for election and notification expenses. If the county's form of government is changed, there may be additional administrative and notification expenses estimated between $3,000 and $10,000. Costs to other counties depend on the number of initiatives filed and the outcome of the elections. Expenses could range between $3,000 and $45,000 per county for notification, administrative and election costs.
