Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill proposes to allow for the option of calculating the shrinkage allowance using net gallons of fuel, which would decrease Highway Fund revenue by $256,571 in fiscal year 2013-14 and $366,530 in fiscal year 2014-15 and beyond.  It will also decrease General Fund revenue and Other Special Revenue Funds revenue within the Departments of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and Marine Resources, as well as the TransCap Trust Fund within the Maine Municipal Bond Bank, for their portions of fuel tax receipts.
