Undetermined revenue effect - Maine Clean Election Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Various changes in the fine structure of the Maine Clean Election Act may result in changes in the amount of fine revenue that is collected for the Maine Clean Election Fund; the amounts will depend on the nature and frequency of any fineable offense and cannot be determined at this time. In addition, increasing the number of qualifying contributions required for gubernatorial candidates may have the effect of decreasing the number of gubernatorial Clean Election candidates, thereby resulting in possible savings to the Maine Clean Election Fund in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11.  The amounts will depend on the number of gubernatorial Clean Election candidates and cannot be determined at this time.
