SPONSOR Representative Richard Heath FISCAL SUMMARY STATE FISCAL IMPACT: YES NO UNCERTAIN OTHER FISCAL STATEMENT (S) THAT MAY APPLY: ACTUARIAL ANALYSIS LOCAL MANDATE CORRECTIONS IMPACT HEALTH BENEFIT MANDATE APPROPRIATION UNIT(S) IMPACTED: FUND(S) IMPACTED: GENERAL ROAD FEDERAL RESTRICTED FISCAL ESTIMATES 2022-2023 2023-2024 ANNUAL IMPACT AT FULL IMPLEMENTATION REVENUES EXPENDITURES NET EFFECT ( ) indicates a decrease/negative PURPOSE OF MEASURE: The purpose of the measure is to allow the Department for Local Government (DLG) to partner with The Kentucky Council of Area Development Districts (KCADD) to create and administer the Government Resources Accelerating Needed Transformation (GRANT) Program. This program will help Area Development Districts apply for and match grants for public benefit improvements. FISCAL EXPLANATION : DLG has stated that the costs to promulgate regulations and set up the required administration would be indeterminable but significant. DLG would also require an indeterminate number of full-time equivalent employees to help administer this program. However, since all the funds needed for the GRANT Program are going to come from the GRANT Program Fund, and no appropriation was included for that Fund in the bill, this bill would have no fiscal impact.
