Fiscal Detail and Notes
Establishing an income tax credit equal to the storm water management user fee is expected to reduce General Fund revenue by $66,859 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $68,865 in fiscal year 2006-07.  This bill also includes a General Fund appropriation of $20,000 in fiscal year 2005-06 for Maine Revenue Services for the computer programming associated with this new income tax credit.  The additional costs associated with certifying amounts paid for mitigation can be absorbed by the Department of Environmental Protection utilizing existing budgeted resources.
