Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill increases the revenue sharing rate from 2% to 5% in fiscal year 2018-19 retroactive to January 1, 2019.  It would result in a reduction in General Fund revenue of $49,941,123 in fiscal year 2018-19 and a corresponding increase in Local Government Fund revenue of $49,941,123 in fiscal year 2018-19.  This analysis is based on the December 2018 revenue forecast. There would be no fiscal impact in the following years since current law already has revenue sharing returning to 5%.
