HB 1230 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT requiring a report of real property owned of leased by the state and relative to New Hampshire hospital real estate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill, as amended by the Senate (Amendment #2012-1765s), will increase state general fund revenues by $175,000 and increase state general fund expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2013. There will be no impact on state revenues, or county and local revenues or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill creates additional biennial reporting obligations for state agencies beyond the current annual reporting of data for the State Owned Real Property Report. The Department states there could be additional administrative costs for agencies as a result of soliciting, acquiring, and reporting of the additional data required by this bill. The Department states total costs are indeterminable as costs may vary by agency.
The Department of Administrative Services states this bill enables the State to dispose of two separate properties on the State Hospital grounds in Concord. The Department assumes the two properties will be sold in FY 2013 for their appraised values of $100,000 and $75,000, respectively. The Department states there would be a 5% brokerage fee incurred for the sale of each property of $5,000 and $3,750, respectively. In total the Department estimates a state general fund revenue increase of $175,000, and a state general fund expenditure increase of $8,750 in FY 2013.
