Fiscal Detail and Notes
Extending the statutory sunset of transfers to the Loring Job Increment Financing Fund from tax year beginning on or after July 1, 2026 to tax year beginning on or after July 1, 2028 will require Maine Revenue Services to continue to transfer approximately $600,000 to $700,000 annually during that time period. This will result in a reduction in General Fund revenue of that amount annually with the last transfer occurring in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2030.  
Additional costs to the Loring Development Authority to submit a required report can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
