Legislative Study
The projected costs to fund the general operating expenses of the Blue Ribbon Commission to Study Alternative Models for the Dirigo Health Program are $2,850 in fiscal year 2006-07.  The Legislature's budget includes $20,000 in fiscal year 2006-07 for legislative studies.  Whether that amount is sufficient to fund all studies will depend on the number of studies authorized by the Legislative Council and the Legislature.  There is also a base allocation of $500 in fiscal year 2006-07 in the event that outside funding is received to support the work of the commission. 
Fiscal Detail and Notes
By eliminating the provisions in the committee amendment this amendment eliminates the potential costs to the General Fund but adds the costs of the legislative study.
