Fiscal Note Summary


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


There is no estimated cost to the State for the proposed legislation because no change is being made to the limits under the Public School Support Program to cover the cost of the additional cooks that will be required to meet the new requirements. Therefore, the estimated cost of $11,338,815 must be borne by the county boards of education.

The estimated cost for the additional salary, fixed charges, retirement and PEIA for the 331.41 additional cooks totals $11,338,815.
