Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This fiscal note reflects the incremental difference between the amendment and the majority report.   It assumes the elimination of the Savings Offset Payment (SOP) would further reduce Dirigo Health Enterprise Fund revenue. For the purposes of this fiscal estimate, future year SOPs are assumed to be equal to the  2006 SOP.  It is further assumed that, with this amendment's additional reduction in revenue and given that the deallocations already included in the bill do not fully offset the reduction in revenue already included in the bill, Dirigo Health would need to exercise existing authority to keep program spending within available resources.  The precise impact on the program cannot be determined at this time.
