Undetermined current biennium cost increase - General Fund
	Additional costs are expected to result from an increase in the average amount of general assistance payments and from an increase in the number of households that will be eligible to receive assistance.  Under the bill, these additional costs will be paid by the state.  The Department of Human Services estimates these additional costs could be more than $3 million per year.
