FISCAL NOTE
House Bill 284
Committee: State Government Sponsor: Representative Joe Lovvorn
Analyst: Riley Aaron Date: 04/17/2023
House Bill 284 as introduced could increase the administrative obligations of the Alabama
Forestry Commission to conduct public auctions or negotiated sales of surplus property owned
by the Commission to other state or local entities; however these increased obligations would be
offset, wholly or in part, from sales pursuant to the provisions of this bill. Based on a three year
average of annual sales of surplus property auctioned or negotiated by the Alabama Department
of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) for fiscal years 2020 through 2022, this bill
could increase receipts deposited into the Alabama Forestry Commission Fund by an estimated
$30,000 annually with a corresponding decrease to the ADECA Surplus Property Division.
This bill could also increase receipts to the State General Fund by an undetermined amount
dependent on any liquidated damages recovered by the Attorney General for sales made in
violation of this bill.
