Potential loss of unbudgeted revenue - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The General Fund revenue loss associated with increasing the amount of forfeited bail revenue a District Attorney is allowed to retain is estimated to be $45,000 in fiscal year 2011-12 and $60,000 in fiscal year 2012-13.  The maximum General Fund revenue loss in any fiscal year is $120,000.  This revenue is not budgeted revenue and therefore its potential loss would not be booked.
