Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Establishing an ongoing Intergovernmental Advisory Group will require a General Fund appropriation to the Legislature in the amount of $3,230 annually beginning in fiscal year 2004-05.  This appropriation provides funds for the per diem and expenses of legislative members of the advisory group.  The Department of Audit can absorb the costs associated with filing estimates from the county commissioners.  This legislation also authorizes the advisory group to seek outside sources of funding and may result in the collection of Other Special Revenue funds beginning in fiscal year 2004-05.  A base allocation of $500 in fiscal year 2004-05 is included to authorize expenditures from dedicated revenue in the event funds are received.  This fiscal note assumes that staffing will not be required from the Legislature.
