CORRECTION
To Fiscal Note on
sSB-440, File No. 314
AN ACT CONCERNING CERTIFICATES OF NEED.
Primary Analyst: JP 4/10/24
Contributing Analyst(s):
The table in the fiscal note for the file copy incorrectly indicated a
revenue loss to the Resources of the General Fund in FY 25 and FY 26.
The table should show costs to the Office of Health Strategy and the
State Comptroller – Fringe Benefits, and an associated revenue gain to
the Resources of the General Fund in FY 25 and FY 26 instead. The
corrected table and explanation are shown below. Please note that all
other descriptions in the original fiscal note remain unchanged.

The fringe benefit costs for most state employees are budgeted centrally in accounts
administered by the Comptroller. The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost
associated with most personnel changes is 41.25% of payroll in FY 25. 2024SB-00440-R00-COR.DOCX Page 2 of 2
within the Office of Health Strategy of $745,000 in FY 25 and $440,000 in
FY 26 for additional staff and expenses necessary to meet the new
Certificate of Need (CON) requirements. Costs related to HSPU are
recovered via an assessment collected from the various state hospitals.
This assessment results in a revenue gain to the General Fund equal to
the increase in costs to OHS and the State Comptroller – Fringe Benefits.
