Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill includes one-time General Fund appropriations to the Fund for Efficient Delivery of Local and Regional Services - Administration within the Department of Economic and Community Development to encourage regional planning and reorganization for towns and municipalities to decrease the duplication of services.  Pursuant to 30-A M.R.S.A, Chapter 231, §6204, the department may use the fund to cover its administrative costs, so no additional General Fund support is required.  The additional costs to the Department of Administrative and Financial Services are expected to be minor.
