Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Upon passage of HB3303, the Coalfield and Community Development Fund (3162) would incur new expenditures in personnel for the hiring of a director, assistant director, and a clerical employee. Fund 3162 would also incur the cost of fringe benefits, rent, travel, computer, and utilities. DED estimates the cost to be $300,000 per year. Currently Fund 3162 has a cash balance of $1,959,222.79 and the incoming revenue for blasting fees is minimal due to the decrease in surface mining in the State of WV. A designated revenue source would be needed after around 6.5 years.
Please refer to SB157 fiscal note.
