Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill appropriates $250,000 in fiscal year 2006-07 to a new program identified as the "Bureau of General Services" within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services to provide initial funding for the construction of a monument to honor women veterans of Maine.  The money would then be immediately transferred to a dedicated account already established for this purpose.  It is recommended that this one-time funding would be better accomplished through a transfer of $250,000 from General Fund Undedicated Revenue to the Other Special Revenue Funds account Buildings and Grounds Operations (014-18A-0080-01).  That would prevent setting up a new appropriation accounting structure that would only be used to receive money that would be immediately transferred out to another account.
