Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Dedicating 50% of the 5% sales tax revenue collected from consumer fireworks sales to the Maine Length of Service Award Program Trust Fund requires a General Fund transfer of $190,000 in FY 2014-15 and $198,170 in FY 2015-16 and a transfer from Municipal Revenue Sharing of $10,000 in FY 2014-15 and $10,430 in FY 2015-16.  This bill includes an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $190,000 in fiscal year 2014-15.  Committee Amendment "A" to LD 1509, the 2014-2015 budget, includes a provision that temporarily increases the sales tax to 5.5%.  This estimate of fiscal impact may need to be revisited after final legislative action on the budget.
