Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


5E-C-6 contemplates appropriations of up to $5.0 million each fiscal year to provide investments and technical assistance to qualified investment companies. 5E-C-7 contemplates the Authority approving up to $25.0 million in recoverable revenue credits within the next five year. This amount does not provide an annual cap, thus all credits coulde be issued in year one or it could be spread over five successive years depending upon demand for the tax credits. Estimates in the fiscal note below assumes the Authority would approve $5.0 million of recoverable revenue credits per year.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


Current expenses represent the estimated legal costs the Authority would experience for the writing, filing, and implementation of the necessary program rules for 5E-C-6; 5E-C-7; and 5E-C-8. There is little to no reliability in predicting future revenues that may result from these programs.



Memorandum


5E-C-5 contains a reporting requirement of July 1, 2012 and July 1 of each succeeding year. I would suggest a 30 to 60 day period to accumulate the necessary data to furnish a report to the joint committee on Government and Finance. the initial report should be July 1, 2013 instead of July 1, 2012 since the program will not have been implemented prior to July 1, 2012.
