Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment increases the amount of revenue transferred from the Energy Infrastructure Benefits Fund at the Efficiency Maine Trust to the Department of Transportation (DOT) from 20% to 50%, which would increase both Other Special Revenue Funds revenue and expenditures at the DOT.  The amendment also removes the Transportation Efficiency Fund from the bill, therefore the Other Special Revenue Funds base allocation of $500 to that Fund has been removed and a new $500 Other Special Revenue Funds base allocation established to allow the DOT to spend any revenues received.  The incremental effect to Other Special Revenue Funds allocations to the DOT is $0.  
Any revenue loss to the Efficiency Maine Trust arising from reducing revenue in the Energy Infrastructure Benefits Fund is not expected to significantly impact programs.
