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.
The number of Officers that quality for this uniform allowance averages 570. We used $500 allowance for 570 individuals to determine the need for $285,000 additional State funds in General Revenue Fund 0433 Military Authority Appropriation 74800. This increase will be needed each fiscal year as an on-going request.
