Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill includes a one-time General Fund appropriation of $500,000 in fiscal year 2017-18 to the Maine State Housing Authority (MSHA) to provide grants and loans to eligible households for treatment of contaminated private drinking water wells. The provision in this bill that allows MSHA to utilize 15% of the total funds provided to administer the program is expected to be sufficient to cover the administrative costs to MSHA.
	The bill also requires the State Controller to transfer $500,000 by June 30, 2018 from the Medical Use of Marijuana Fund, Other Special Revenue Funds account, in the Department of Health and Human Services to the unappropriated surplus of the General Fund to offset the one-time General Fund appropriation of $500,000 in this bill.
