and Notes |

|
|
Requiring
that certain minimum wages be the higher of either state or federal minimum
requirements will require either increasing annual Highway Fund costs in the
Department of Transportation by an estimated annual cost of $10,500,000
beginning in fiscal year 2006-07 or deferring or delaying a number of highway
construction projects to compensate for the higher minimum wage requirements.
Additional Highway Fund costs will also be incurred by the department in
fiscal year 2005-06; the amounts will depend on those construction projects
that are in progress when the provisions of this law become effective; the
amounts can not be determined at this time.
In addition, the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management
is likely to incur additional General Fund costs for increased labor rates
paid for certain department projects; the amounts can not be determined at
this time. |
