Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment removes the General Fund appropriation of $15,000 in fiscal year 2007-08.  It also provides a one-time Other Special Revenue Funds allocation to the Financial Literacy Program within the Office of the Treasurer of State of $15,000 for fiscal year 2007-08 to establish an account and to allow it to receive one-time funds transferred from the unobligated balances of the Office of Consumer Credit Regulation.  This allocation will fund the additional costs associated with hosting a statewide seminar on teaching financial literacy to public school students including speakers, materials and food. Additional costs to the Maine Community College System and the University of Maine System can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
