Current Costs - Legislative Study
Legislative Study
This bill would continue the Health Care System and Health Security Board and members.  The Board has an unexpended balance of Other Special Revenue funds in the amount of $5,427.95 that will fund all of the estimated costs in fiscal year 2005-06 and a portion of costs in fiscal year 2006-07.  Consistent with the study guidelines adopted by the Legislative Council, language should be included in the resolve to clarify that if outside funding is not received to fully fund all costs of the board, no meetings are authorized and no expenses of any kind may be incurred or reimbursed.  All contributions are subject to the approval of the Legislative Council.  An allocation of Other Special Revenue funds is needed in fiscal year 2005-06 and 2006-07 in the event outside funding is collected to support the activities of the board
