Fiscal Detail and Notes 
This amendment will have no net effect on General Fund appropriations and revenue and a balanced budget is 
maintained for the 2006-2007 biennium. The estimated reduction in General Fund revenue will be offset by a transfer 
from the Dirigo Health Fund to the unappropriated surplus of the General Fund.
