Establishing an in:come tax checkoff for the Maine Veterans' Memorial Cemetery Maintenance Fund may increase 
Other Special Revenue by an estimated $50,000 aimually. This bill includes General Fund appropriations of$15,154 
in fiscal year 2005-06 and $5,412 in fiscal year 2006-07 for Maine Revenue Services for the additional costs 
associated with this checkoff. This estimate of fiscal impact reflects those administrative costs as a cost to the General 
Fund. If sufficient revenue is generated to permit the $2,000 transfer, the General Fund need could be reduced 
accordingly.
