ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education stated that their agency could accept electronic statements of payments made by Sheltered Workshops.
Oversight has determined amounts lapsed by the Sheltered Workshop Program for the last four years to be as follows:
1997 - $209,752
1998 - $ 0
1999 - $418,190
2000 - $286,173
Oversight assumes future lapses of funding would remain in the Sheltered Workshop Revolving Fund, rather then transferring to the General Revenue Fund, but has not predicted the amount of future lapses, if any.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal would allow the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to accept electronic statements of payments made by sheltered workshops. The statements are proof of payments due to sheltered workshops. This proposal also creates the "Sheltered Workshop Per Diem Revolving Fund". The balance of this fund shall not exceed $500,000 at the end of each fiscal year. Any unexpended balance in this fund at the end of each fiscal year exceeding $500,000 shall be deposited in the general revenue fund.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal would not affect Total State Revenue.
