Fiscal Detail and Notes
Establishing an income tax checkoff for the Maine Asthma and Lung Disease Research Fund may increase Other Special Revenue by an estimated $50,000 annually.  Maine Revenue Services will also require $15,154 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $5,412 in fiscal year 2006-07 for the additional costs associated with this checkoff.  This estimate of fiscal impact reflects those administrative costs as a cost to the General Fund.  If sufficient revenue is generated to permit the $2,000 transfer, the General Fund need could be reduced accordingly.
