Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The ability of the Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability (OPEGA) to absorb the additional workload and associated costs of the review assigned in this bill will depend on the number and scope of the other reviews OPEGA is assigned by the Government Oversight Committee.  If the committee fully commits OPEGA's resouces, then additional General Fund appropriations will be required by OPEGA for this review.
	The Dirigo Health Agency and the Governor's Office of Health Policy and Finance can absorb the minor additional costs associated with assisting OPEGA with the evaluation of the Dirigo Health Program.
