SB 435-FN-A- FISCAL NOTE

AS AMENDED BY THE SENATE (AMENDMENT #2020-0473s)

 

AN ACT making an appropriation to the department of education for the purpose of funding the Hudson CTE center.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:      [ X ] State              [    ] County               [    ] Local              [    ] None

 

 

The Treasury Department states this bill will increase state general fund expenditures by $63,750 in FY 2021, $276,675 in FY 2022, and $269,025 in FY 2023.  This bill will have no impact on state, county and local revenue, or county and local expenditures.

 

METHODOLOGY:

This bill allows for the bonding of an appropriation of $2,550,000 made to the Department of Education for the Hudson CTE Center.  The Treasury Department has indicated that the amount of total outstanding direct general obligation bonded indebtedness on behalf of and incurred by the state as of June 30, 2019 is $754 million (not including bond anticipation notes outstanding).  The amount of net general obligation bonded indebtedness (general improvement plus University System of New Hampshire bonds), as of June 30, 2019 is $523 million.  The estimated amount of net general obligation bonds authorized, but unissued, as of June 30, 2019 is $230 million.

 

It is assumed the entire amount of the proposed bond authorization ($2,550,000) will be issued in FY 2021.  Current interest bond rates are assumed fixed at 5% and amortized over 20 years (60% of the principal paid in the first ten years, 40% paid in the second 10 years).  Based on issuing the full amount of this bill's bond authorization in FY 2021, debt obligation will increase by the following amounts through FY 2023:

FY 2020

$0

FY 2021

$63,750

FY 2022

FY 2023

Additionally, this bill would lapse $1,018,000 from three identified capital projects on June 30, 2020.
