Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


Please explain increases and decreases in personal services, current expenses, repairs and alterations, assets, other costs and revenues, including assumptions and data sources and delineation between start-up and ongoing costs. Please also include a long-range schedule of costs and revenues if fiscal impact is expected to vary in future years. Over the past three fiscal years, average revenue into Fund is about $264,000 per fiscal year and that average would be expected to remain fairly constant for FY2020 and FY2021. If law is changed as proposed, DOH will be able to expend the dollars from the Fund and expectation would be that all revenues generated would be obligated for expenditure each fiscal year, and that the current Fund balance available to the DOH (about $1.4 million) would be expended by the DOH. ________________________________________



Memorandum


Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form. The average revenue each fiscal year can be expended from the Gas Field Highway Repair and Horizontal Drilling Waste Study Fund on roads in the DOH district where the waste is deposited. However, the fiscal year revenue is minimal for annual road repair.
