|
|
This legislation
dedicates additional funds from the Hollywood and Oxford Casinos to the
Department of Public Safety, Gambling Control Board Other Special Revenue
Funds account. This will reduce
General Fund revenue by $1,278,597 in fiscal year 2014-15 and increase Other
Special Revenue Funds revenue by a corresponding amount. |
|
This legislation
also requires that fees assessed for criminal history record checks for
certain education personnel, which are currently deposited into the Criminal
History Record Check Fund, a dedicated account within the Department of
Education, instead be deposited into a dedicated account within the
Department of Public Safety. |
|
The Criminal
History Record Check Fund within the Department of Education will require an
Other Special Revenue Funds deallocation of $431,161 in fiscal year 2014-15
as a result of the dedicated fees no longer being credited to the Department
of Education effective August 1, 2014.
The Department of Public Safety will require a corresponding Other
Special Revenue Funds allocation. The
Department of Education currently allocates 10% of the cost of one Education
Specialist III position to the Criminal History Record Check Fund to support
work performed by this employee that is directly related to criminal history
record check requirements for school personnel. This work is expected to continue and will
require the Department of Public Safety to transfer $9,369 from the dedicated
account established within their agency to the Department of Education in
fiscal year 2014-15. |
