Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
If established as described and effective July 1, 2010, start-up expenses for this office would require a FY2011 General Revenue appropriation of approximately $343,000 to support staff and operations during the initial year of operation. This estimate is limited to the administrative cost of establishing the Office, and does not include matching funds for federal programs, program start-up costs, or funding for special studies or leveraging specialists. No fee structure or source of revenue is provided for in the Bill. Therefore, the programs would depend upon general revenue, gifts, grants or donations from outside sources for any required federal match. If the program match is general revenue supported, the cost to the State would increase significantly during the first full year of Program implementation. The estimate provided assumes a dollar-for-dollar Program match, which would result in a $500,000 federal grant during the first full year of implementation. Although administrative costs may be reduced as the Program grant allows, however, for the purpose of this estimate, that is not reflected.
