HB 270 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to cost recovery for emergency services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The New Hampshire Municipal Association states this bill may increase local revenues by an indeterminable amount in FY 2011 and in each fiscal year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state, county and local expenditures or state and county revenues.
METHODOLOGY:
The New Hampshire Municipal Association states this bill authorizes a municipality to establish bylaws to recover costs associated with emergency services. The Association states as the term “emergency services” is undefined, the scope of recoverable costs is not known. The Association further states it does not possess the necessary data required to determine the potential increase in local revenues as a result of the passage of this bill.
