Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill includes ongoing General Fund appropriations of $50,000 per year beginning in fiscal year 2005-06 to establish the nursing education loan repayment program to be administered by the Finance Authority of Maine.  The Authority estimates the cost to administer the program to be approximately $23,700 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $4,000 per year beginning in fiscal year 2006-07.  Because this legislation provides for the Authority to utilize a portion of the funds appropriated in this bill for its administrative costs, no additional General Fund appropriations are required.
