HB 1251-FN-A FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT repealing a limitation on appropriations for New Hampshire Public Television.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant states this bill, as amended by the House (Amendment #2014-0217h), may increase state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2014 and each year thereafter. There will be no impact on state revenue, or county and local revenues or expenditures.

The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant states this bill repeals the law stating any appropriation made in the capital or operating budget for New Hampshire public television shall be made directly to New Hampshire public television, and shall not be appropriated through or expended by the university system of New Hampshire, the trustees of the university system of New Hampshire, or any other state agency. To the extent this bill would enable the university system of New Hampshire and state agencies to expend funds to New Hampshire public television either through contracted agreements, memorandums of understanding for services, or other purposes, this bill may result in an increase in state expenditures.
