SUMMARY

This Part makes appropriations and allocations.

This Part transfers $1,772,840 representing the General Fund share of excess equity reserve for workers' compensation by June 30, 2010 from the Workers' Compensation Management Fund in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services to the unappropriated surplus of the General Fund and requires the State Controller to transfer the equitable share of workers' compensation excess equity reserve to each participating fund by June 30, 2010.

This Part also requires the State Budget Officer to calculate the amount of savings in Part A of the Statewide Workers' Compensation Savings account in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services that applies against each General Fund account for departments and agencies statewide in fiscal year 2010-11 from savings achieved through an adjustment in the rates for workers' compensation. The State Budget Officer is directed to transfer the savings by financial order upon approval of the Governor. These transfers are considered adjustments to appropriations in fiscal year 2010-11.

This Part lapses $6,393,322 from the unencumbered balance in All Other from the General Fund Debt Service Payments account in the office of the Treasurer of State to General Fund unappropriated surplus at the close of fiscal year 2009-10.

This Part eliminates the requirement that the Secretary of State publish information about certain ballot questions in the State's daily newspapers.

This Part increases the amount of the fixed transfers from the Local Government Fund to the General Fund from the state-municipal revenue sharing by $624,651 in fiscal year 200910 and $9,311 in fiscal year 201011. These amounts represent the amounts by which the transfers to the Local Government Fund are overstated due to an assumption used in the December 2009 revenue forecast. Using the updated monthly distribution based on the December 2009 forecast, the amount of the transfers to the Local Government Fund for state-municipal revenue sharing is reduced to reflect current expectations.

This Part authorizes the Commissioner of Conservation to install fee collection containers at unstaffed entrances of certain state parks and historic sites and establish fees that will generate additional undedicated revenue to the General Fund of $17,000 in fiscal year 200910 and $132,000 annually beginning in fiscal year 201011.

This Part requires that all unspent Personal Services appropriations in executive branch agencies lapse to the Salary Plan program, General Fund account in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services. This Part also lapses $500,000 in fiscal year 200910 and $468,985 in fiscal year 201011 to the General Fund to recognize the additional transfers to the Salary Plan as General Fund savings.

This Part limits slot machine revenue credited to the Fund for a Healthy Maine to $4,500,000 annually.

This Part repeals a provision of law that allows General Fund balances in the State Supplement to Federal Supplemental Security program within the Department of Health and Human Services to carry forward from one fiscal year to the next. It also prohibits the transfer by financial order of State Supplement to Federal Supplemental Security program funds.

This Part establishes an annual limit of $1,700,000 on the amount of General Fund appropriations the Driver Education and Evaluation Programs may receive.
