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


The purpose of the proposed Bill to reduce funds available for expenditure in Fund 1225 – Securities Regulation Fund of the State Auditor’s Office, expiring such funds and transferring the available funds to the Chief Inspector’s Fund of the State Auditor’s Office – Fund 1235 to be used to fund personal services and employee benefits expenditures. While the Fiscal Note depiction will show increased revenues and increased spending in the amount of $1,500,000, the funds being used to supplement the budget of the Chief Inspector’s Division - Fund 1235 have already been collected and deposited into the Securities Regulation Fund (1225) and are available to immediate transfer. The effect of the proposed Bill is a one-time transfer of funding from the Securities Regulation Fund – Fund 1225 to the Chief Inspector’s Fund – Fund 1235 which would occur during Fiscal Year 2019. Accordingly, the proposed legislation would have no recurring financial impact in Fiscal Year 2020 and beyond.
