Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
No State fiscal impact
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Delaying the date that school administrative units must comply with the provisions of Title 20-A, chapter 103-A until July 1, 2010 will not impact the total state and local cost of funding K-12 public education or the State's share of that cost.  However, the delay will impact the distribution of State subsidy among school administrative units through fiscal year 2009-10 with those school administrative units who have not complied receiving more State subsidy than they would have received had the penalty provision been in effect and those school administrative units who have complied receiving less.  The impact to individual school administrative units can not be determined at this time.
