HB 72-FN-A - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT establishing a state aeronautical fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Transportation states this bill will increase state restricted revenues and restricted expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2012 and each fiscal year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures or revenues.
METHODOLOGY:
This bill establishes a state aeronautical fund and authorizes the commissioner of the Department of Transportation to accept donations to the fund. The bill states the moneys in the fund shall be non-lapsing and continually appropriated to the Department for the purposes of funding maintenance and planning and implementing capital improvements for public use airports located within the state.
The Department states the bill will increase state aeronautical fund revenue and expenditures by an indeterminable amount as it can not anticipate the level of funding that would be obtained, and subsequently expended, as a result of donations being made to the fund. The Department also states although there is no impact to county and local revenues or expenditures; certain public use airports owned and operated by municipalities and/or other entities may be recipients of grant funds disbursed from the proposed aeronautical fund.
