Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The amendment limits assistance under the general assistance program to a maximum of 3 months in a 24-month period, except for persons who are employed, in school or performing volunteer work for at least 20 hours per week. A precise estimate of the fiscal impact is not possible because recipient data related to the number of months of assistance received and the amounts paid to each recipient resides at the municipal level and varies over time.
