Current biennium cost increase - Competitive Skills Scholarship Program Fund
Minor revenue increase - General Fund
Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements
This bill may increase the number of civil suits filed in the court system. The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new cases filed in the court system does not require additional funding at this time. The collection of additional filing fees will increase General Fund revenue by minor amounts.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Allowing funds within the Competitive Skills Scholarship Program (CSSP) Fund to be used to support a newly established Community Workforce Connections Program within the Department of Labor will increase costs to the CSSP Fund beginning in fiscal year 2025-26.  However, because the CSSP Fund has sufficient budgeted resources to support the increase in costs, no additional allocations are required.
