Fiscal Note
HB0444 - Promotion of Health Efficiencies
State Impact:
Enactment of this bill will require an ongoing General Fund appropriation of $165,500 to the Department of Health starting in FY 2008 to implement the provisions of the legislation. These funds will be matched with $410,100 federal funds. Though there is a potential to reduce the cost of services, the funding appropriation is required to address an estimated caseload increase for services covered by the bill.
