Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Establishing an income tax credit of up to $1,000 based on internal combustion engine fuel purchased by employers in the commercial forestry industry in Maine who employ residents of the state for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2013 will reduce General Fund revenue and reduce revenue sharing starting in fiscal year 2012-13.  The bill as amended also would require a future one-time General Fund appropriation in fiscal year 2013-14 for Maine Revenue Services to adapt tax forms for the new income tax credit.
	This fiscal note reflects the comprehensive impact of the bill with the Senate amendment added rather than just the incremental fiscal effect of the Senate amendment.
