Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring that state agencies will be responsible for the management and monitoring of land acquired through the Land for Maine's Future program will result in significant additional costs to the General Fund and to Other Special Revenue funds.  The amounts will depend on the difference between the current costs incurred by state agencies to contract for management and oversight of these properties and the costs that will be incurred by the agencies being required to provide these services directly.  The amounts can not be determined at this time.
