| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| The Regulation and Enforcement program within the Department of Labor will require General Fund appropriations of $111,870 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $154,502 in fiscal year 2006-07 for one Labor and Safety Inspector position and one Safety Compliance Officer position and related all other costs associated with conducting inspections in the unorganized territories. | |||||||||
| The cost of providing other services in the unorganized territories, including, but not limited to law enforcement, fire protection and game warden services can not be determined at this time. | |||||||||
| The increase in revenue to the General Fund associated with the .01% fee assessed on every landowner in the unorganized territory would be approximately $234,165. The impact of this revenue gain is not reflected above because an assessment only on real property would violate Article IX, section 8 of the Maine Constitution. | |||||||||
