Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government. The purpose of the proposed bill is to create a new Coalfield Community Grant Facilitation Commission as a separate independent body corporate of the state, of which the Executive Director of the West Virginia Economic Development Authority, or his or her designee, would serve as the chairperson. This new Commission would be responsible for administering state funds appropriated by the Legislature, as well as any gifts, grants or other contributions received, and placed into a newly created special revenue fund, to be used as matching funds for local public and private entities in coalfield communities seeking grants from federal, state or private sources. The proposed bill requires the West Virginia Economic Development Authority to assist the Commission in its functions and operations including, but not limited to, providing administrative, clerical and technical support. It is anticipated that additional administrative costs would be incurred by the West Virginia Economic Development Authority in implementing any such new program envisioned by the bill, including the addition of at least one administrative staff member.
Please explain increases and decreases in personal services, current expenses, repairs and alterations, assets, other costs and revenues, including assumptions and data sources and delineation between start-up and ongoing costs. Please also include a long-range schedule of costs and revenues if fiscal impact is expected to vary in future years. The existing West Virginia Economic Development Authority staff will provide assistance in the form of administrative, clerical and technical support to the Commission. The proposed bill does not provide for any additional revenues to the West Virginia Economic Development Authority any potential increases in expenses. The bill does create a new special revenue fund of the Commission to be funded, at least in part, by an appropriation. The West Virginia Economic Development Authority is not able to estimate any impact on the State's general revenue fund because the proposed bill does not address the amount of any appropriation to be made into the new fund.
Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form.
