Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill adds a 714-acre parcel of land to the Penobscot Indian Reservation state valuation.  Since the Penobscot Indian Nation territory is treated as if they were a municipality of the state for municipal revenue sharing purposes, this increase in valuation will increase revenue sharing received by the Penobscot Indian Reservation.  This increase will represent a redistribution of revenue sharing amounts from other municipalities and the unorganized territories.
