Fiscal Detail and Notes
Increasing the amount of the payment to the Loring Job Increment Financing Fund from 50% to 100% of the amount of the unemployment tax increment for the preceding year will require Maine Revenue Services to transfer an additional $600,000 to $700,000 to the fund annually from fiscal year 2025-26 through fiscal year 2029-30. This will reduce General Fund revenue by that amount annually during that period. This is in addition to the $600,000 to $700,000 transfer added in the committee amendment for extending the sunset by two years. This fiscal note assumes this bill takes effect after July 15, 2024.
