HB 1906 -- Transition Period for Statewide Elected Officials

Sponsor:  Loehner

This bill changes the requirements for the appropriation and
payment of transition expenses for the offices of Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State
Auditor, and Attorney General.

Currently, the transition period for these offices starts on
November 15 following their election.  The bill changes this date
to the first day following the election of a non-incumbent.  The
Commissioner of the Office of Administration must request
separate funding for establishing the transitional facilities
required to be operational on the day following the election of a
non-incumbent.

Salaries and expenses incurred during the transition period must
be paid only from funds appropriated for the transition.
Expenses incurred during the transition period may be paid after
the end of that period.
