OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill has no fiscal impact by increasing the level of financial aid
that may be delegated by the board of directors for approval by
Connecticut Innovations (CI) staff from $150,000 to $500,000. It is
anticipated that this provision will expedite awards that would
otherwise be approved by the board of directors.
The bill also has no fiscal impact by modifying the terms of the
members of the board of directors.
Background
CI is a quasi-public state agency that is primarily financed by loan
repayments, investment returns, and fees. The state periodically
provides General Obligation bonds to CI to support their program;
however, the bill does not alter those bond authorizations and therefore
has no state fiscal impact.
House "A" makes modifications to the terms of the members of the 2022HB-05264-R010679-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
board of directors which have no fiscal impact.
The Out Years
State Impact: None
