Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill proposes to adopt a Maine Milk Commission rule that creates a 4-tiered system and updates target prices for each tier based upon the breakeven cost of production used to make payouts through the Dairy Stabilization Program. It will decrease General Fund revenue by $5,781,910 in fiscal year 2021-22 and by $10,618,695 in fiscal year 2022-23 and increase Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Bureau of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry by the same amounts. The department will require corresponding increases in Other Special Revenue Funds allocations in order to make increased payouts through the program.
