Potential Budget Conflict
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Although provisions in this bill have no impact on existing benefits under the Circuitbreaker Program, prohibiting the reduction of certain benefits for elderly household claimants meeting the criteria set forth in this bill would conflict with certain changes being considered in the Governor's proposed Biennial Budget Bill, LD 1043.  This would reduce the amount of savings proposed in LD 1043 by $3,781,298 in fiscal year 2011-12 and by $3,876,981 in fiscal year 2012-13.
