Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires the Land Use Regulation Commission within the Department of Conservation to convene a stakeholder group related to wind power within existing resources.  The department estimates that implementation of the stakeholder group will consume $31,155 and $13,715 of budgeted General Fund resources in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively.  The department will have to forego previously planned expenditures of these resources for other purposes.
