| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| This legislation abolishes the Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission and creates in its place the Intergovernmental Tribal-State Board, which represents an increase of five members. Assuming the new board meets as often as the previous board, this legislation may result in an increase in the cost of per diems, travel reimbursement and food for meetings of approximately $16,730 annually. Since the new board has the authority to spend less on its Executive Director and meet less often, the exact financial impact of this legislation can not be determined at this time. | |||||||||
