SB 67 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to funding certain AIDS services organizations and relative to certain operating budget reductions for fiscal year 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Health and Human Services states this bill, as amended by the House (Amendment #2009-1342h), will increase state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2010 and FY 2011. This bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue, or county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Health and Human Services states this bill directs the Department to distribute $500,000 of FY 2010 and 2011 appropriations to certain AIDS Services Organizations (ASO’s). This bill does not contain an appropriation, rather it directs that funding for both programs come from the Department’s FY 2010 and 2011 state operating budget appropriations, which have not yet been established.
Section 2 of this bill makes a change to the Legislative lapse provisions contained in Chapter 1, Laws of 2009. This section will have no fiscal impact.
Section 3 of this bill deletes section 1 of Chapter 367, Laws of 2007 which required the Department to expend $500,000 for the purchase of HIV antiretroviral drugs in FY 2008 and FY 2009. The Department has already purchased these drugs from other revenue sources, and the deletion of this section will have no fiscal impact in FY 2009 and each year thereafter.
