FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOL) assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency. The essential objective of the proposed legislation is to create the Labor and Industrial Relations Administrative Fund. This fund will be used to finance the operation of the department's administrative sections.

The proposed legislation allows DOL to reallocate monies from other funds in the following manner: in FY 2000, General Revenue Fund 5.74% or $4,402; Workers' Compensation Fund 11.25% or $8,627; Crime Victims' Compensation Fund 0.58% or $445; and Federal Funds 82.43% or $63,210. In FY 2001 and FY 2002 the reallocation percentages will change slightly based on the reorganization of DOL with the Department of Economic Development and therefore cannot be currently predicted. Since this is a transfer from current funds to the new Administrative Fund, the overall net impact to DOL will be $0.

For purposes of the fiscal note, Oversight assumes the percentages identified in FY2000 will be used in FY2001 and FY2002 as adjusted for inflation. Oversight assumes the overall financial impact to DOL will be zero.

Officials from the State Treasurer's Office and the Department of Revenue assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agencies.
