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


SB 810 would divert $100,000 in interest from the Revenue Shortfall Reserve Fund - Part B, also known as Rainy Day B, annually for the purposes of the Lung Cancer Screening and Education Fund. Thus, the estimated cost to Rainy Day B is $100,000 per fiscal year. The administration of that program is assigned to the Bureau of Public Health under the Department of Health, and the Department of Revenue suggests fielding input from the Department of Health regarding the estimated costs to administer the Fund and the Lung Cancer Prevention and Education program.



Memorandum


SB 810 does not specify precisely when the $100,000 transfer will occur, save that it will occur "annually". Additionally, the bill does not specify whether the transfer occurs should Rainy Day B experience a year in which its returns are negative, or of an amount less than $100,000. This also generates an unclear interaction with the annual nature of the transfer. For example, if the calendar year returns are greater than $100,000 but the fiscal year returns are not, the bill is silent as to how such a situation should be treated.
