SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



House Bill 271 appropriates $40.0 from the general fund to SDE for expenditure in fiscal year 2000 to support educational programming for an exhibit in Sandoval County that depicts the life of Anne Frank. The bill contains an emergency clause.



Significant Issues



The appropriation is for fiscal year 2000. If the provisions of the bill become effective immediately upon being signed by the Governor, it is questionable whether the can funds be expended prior to the end of fiscal year 2000 (June 30, 2000).



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



The $40.0 appropriation from the general fund is to be expended in fiscal year 2000. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2000 shall revert to the general fund.



POSSIBLE QUESTION



Would it be prudent to amend the bill to allow expenditure of the appropriation in fiscal years 2000 and 2001?
