HB 460 -- Transition Period for 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 to one
of the offices.  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.

The maximum appropriation during the transition period for
Governor-elect is increased from $100,000 to $200,000; for
Lieutenant-Governor-elect from $5,000 to $10,000; and for
Attorney General-elect, Secretary of State-elect, State
Auditor-elect, and State Treasurer-elect from $10,000 to $25,000.
Expenses incurred during the transition period may be paid after
the end of that period.
