FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 128
Committee: State Government Sponsor: Senator Clay Scofield
Analyst: Jennifer Farish Date: 04/17/2023
Senate Bill 128as passed the Senate 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.
