  The Secretary of

  length for the general election in November. If the number or size of the
  referendum questions increases the ballot length, an additional appropriation
  of $8,000 or more may be required.  A
  special election would require an additional appropriation of $121,392. |

  This
  bill includes a General Fund appropriation of $52,300 in fiscal year 2005-06
  to the Department of Marine Resources for the purpose of reestablishing the
  Maine Coast Environmental Trust Fund. 
  If the intent of the bill is to provide initial funding for the fund
  to be spent as Other Special Revenue Funds, then any subsequent amendment to
  the bill needs to include specific language authorizing the transfer of funds
  from the General Fund to the newly established Other Special Revenue Funds
  account.  In addition, the department
  will require initial Other Special Revenue Funds allocations of $52,300 and
  $500 in fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively, to allow spending from
  the new dedicated account. |
