Fiscal Detail and Notes
Removing the requirement for airports to register with the state and changing the receipt of excise tax payments from the Department of Transportation to the Augusta State Airport will result in a minor decrease in revenue not requiring any change to the budget.
Additional costs to the Department of Transportation associated with installation of signs (estimated total cost of $800) can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.  Adequate funding exists within the department's baseline budget to cover this cost.
