Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The fiscal impact of this legislation depends on the number of suits filed by certain employees.  In a worst case scenario the potential cost could be up to $1,000,000 per occurance for an employee or former employee of the State of Maine who sues under specified federal employment laws.  The additional costs to the Department of Attorney General for defending each claim can not be determined at this time.
