Fiscal Detail and Notes
Amending the Maine Seed Capital Tax Credit Program as proposed in this bill reduces General Fund revenue by $432,250 in FY 2013-14 and by $1,297,700 in FY 2014-15.  Municipal Revenue Sharing revenue is reduced by $22,750 in FY 2013-14 and by $68,300 in FY 2014-15.  
Given the current provisions under the Maine Seed Capital Tax Credit Program in both statute and rule that allow the Authority to charge certain fees, additional General Fund appropriations to the Finance Authority of Maine to implement the requirements of this legislation will not be required.
