| Fiscal Detail
and Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The repeal of the
Hospital and Health Care Provider Cooperation Act will eliminate the annual
assessment required by the Act on any hospital licensed by the Department of
Health and Human Services. The department will require Other Special Revenue
Funds deallocations of $204,446 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $204,446 in fiscal
year 2024-25 due to the repeal. There is also a corresponding reduction in
revenue received by the department in each year. |
|
Elimination of the
assessment will eliminate funding for one Assistant Attorney General position
provided to the Office of the Attorney General to carry out the purposes of
the Act. The Office of the Attorney General will require Other Special
Revenue Funds deallocations of $183,812 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $192,567
in fiscal year 2024-25. Revenue received by the Office of the Attorney
General will be reduced by the same amounts in each year. |
|
The Office of the
Attorney General has indicated that it may require additional funding to
carry out certain functions provided by the Assistant Attorney General
position that will no longer be funded due to the repeal of the Act. |
