Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill establishes the Maine Merit Scholarship Program as a non-lapsing fund to be administered by the Finance Authority of Maine.  Because this legislation does not identify a source of revenue to capitalize and support the fund and establish and administer the program, General Fund appropriations may be required beginning in fiscal year 2005-06.  The amount required will depend on the scope of the program.
