FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would have no fiscal impact on the State and no fiscal impact on local governments in the aggregate. The bill would make new projects eligible for assistance that they otherwise would not be eligible, but it would not change the total amount of funding for the programs. If a newly eligible project displaced a project that otherwise would have been eligible for assistance, that would change the mix of projects that received assistance but would have no net fiscal impact on local governments.
