Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill includes General Fund appropriations of $10,250 annually in fiscal years 2013-14 and 2014-15 to the Legislature for the per diem and expenses of members of the Commission on Health Care Cost and Quality and miscellaneous expenses of the commission.  It also includes General Fund appropriations of $34,878 in fiscal year 2013-14 and $35,572 in fiscal year 2014-15 for contracted staffing and clerical support to the commission.
	If outside funding is made available for commission activities, then the General Fund cost of the commission may be reduced.  Other Special  Revenue Funds allocations of $500 annually in fiscal years 2013-14 and 2014-15 are included to authorize expenditures of any dedicated funds received for this purpose.
	Any additional costs to the Department of Health and Humans Services for cooperation and coordination with the commission are assumed to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.  The amount of additional funding that would be available and provided from the federal State Innovation Model grant for coordination with the department cannot be determined at this time.
