Fiscal Detail and Notes
Appropriations to a new Citizen Trade Policy Commission program in the Legislature and offsetting deappropriations from the Legislature program will be required to implement a segregation of the commission's funding into a separate account.  The Legislature's proposed budget includes annual General Fund appropriations of $26,120 for the commission that would need to be transferred to the new program.  In addition, funding for a biennial assessment of $10,000 would also need to be transferred in fiscal year 2013-14.  These amounts may need to be adjusted based on final decisions on the 2014-2015 biennial budget.
