Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Undetermined current biennium cost impact - General Fund
Minor revenue increase - General Fund
Minor cost increase - Other Special Revenue Funds
Minor revenue increase - Other Special Revenue Funds
Fiscal Detail and Notes
The fiscal impact on MaineCare and state-funded Department of Health and Human Services programs cannot be determined at this time and will depend on the programs established and the patient-mix participating in each program.  Additional revenue to the Department of Health and Human Services from fees associated with program licensing is expected to be minor.
Requiring criminal history record information about applicants for positions within a veterans' adult day health care program will increase General Fund revenue by a minor amount not requiring any change to the budget.  Additional costs to the Department of Public Safety associated with inspecting and licensing the facility can be absorbed with existing staff and within existing budgeted resources.  Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department of Public Safety will increase by a minor amount from fees associated with this licensing.
