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


This bill would not increase the allocation of funds to the Industrial Access Road Fund from the State Road Fund. The bill contemplates the possibilities of also including shared county funds and matching federal funds. The DOH already manages IAR projects, and the expected increase in IAR projects resulting from this bill would potentially increase internal expenses by an estimate 1/4 of an FTE or $16,875 annually.
