Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Department of Public Safety will require a General Fund appropriation of $81,124 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $64,852 in fiscal year 2010-11 for an inspector position and related costs to inspect tournament games with over 100 players.  $19,500 of the fiscal year 2009-10 appropriation is a one-time cost for a vehicle.  This cost is based upon the assumption that many organizations will take advantage of the increased number of players and that some of these organizations will host large tournaments (1,000-2,000 players).
