| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| This bill includes a General Fund appropriation to the Legislature of $3,880 in fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07 to provide funds for the per diem and expenses of the legislative members, expenses for eligible public members and for postage and printing costs of the Educational Efficiency Advisory Group. This bill also includes an allocation of Other Special Revenue Funds in the amount of $500 for fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07 in the event additional dedicated revenue is received to carry out the advisory group's program activities. | |||||||||
| The Legislature's proposed Part I budget includes $30,000 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $20,000 in fiscal year 2006-07 for legislative studies. This bill would not have to use any of that money because it appropriates what is expected to be needed. However, the study would still need to be approved by the Legislative Council. | |||||||||
| Additional costs to the Department of Education to provide staff assistance for the advisory group can be absorbed utilizing existing budgeted resources. | |||||||||
