| No State fiscal impact | ||||||
| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| Delaying the date that penalties for nonconforming school administrative units becomes effective until July 1, 2011 will not impact the total state and local cost of funding K-12 public education or the State's share of that cost. However, the delay will impact the distribution of State subsidy among school administrative units through fiscal year 2010-11 with those nonconforming units receiving more State subsidy than they would have received had the penalty provision been in effect and those conforming school administrative units receiving less. The impact to individual school administrative units can not be determined at this time. | ||||||
