Fiscal Note for Senate Amendment "   " to Committee Amendment "C"
Sponsor: Sen. Courtney of York
Fiscal Note Required: Yes
             
Fiscal Note
Potential future biennium revenue increase - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
This floor amendment decreases the percentage of excess revenue that is transferred to the Tax Relief Fund for Maine Residents from 40% to 20% and increases by 1/3 the other percentages of revenue that are transferred to other accounts in the cascade.  Based on currently budgeted revenue, no transfers of General Fund revenue in excess of the appropriation limitation are expected through the end of fiscal year 2014-15. The amendment would lead to a potential increase in General Fund revenues relative to the committee amendment as any future tax decreases that might take place would be smaller than under the committee amendment.
