METHODOLOGY:

This bill increases the amount of Real Estate Transfer Tax revenue transferred to the Affordable Housing Fund from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.  As a result of this increased transfer, revenue deposited into the General Fund and Education Trust Fund will decrease by a total of $5,000,000.  Approximately 67% of the Real Estate Transfer Tax revenue is deposited into the General Fund and 33% to the Education Trust Fund.  Therefore, the decrease to each fund is  approximately $3,350,000 to the General Fund and $1,650,000 to the Education Trust Fund.
