Fiscal Detail and Notes 
A prohibition on using Dirigo Health funds to publicize the Dirigo Health program would result in a reduction in 
spending for this purpose and potentially a reduction in participation in the Dirigo Health program. The Dirigo 
Health program expended approximately $280,000 in fiscal year 2004-05 and $336,000 to date in 2005-06 on its 
marketing contract. The specific net reduction in expenditures that would result from this amendment cannot be 
determined at this time.

This fiscal note reflects the incremental difference between the amendment and the majority report. It assumes the 
elimination of the Savings Offset Payment (SOP) would further reduce Dirigo Health Enterprise Fund revenue. For 
the purposes of this fiscal estimate, future year SOPs are assumed to be equal to the 2006 SOP. It is further assumed 
that, with this amendment's additional reduction in revenue and given that the deallocations already included in the bill 
do not fully offset the reduction in revenue already included in the bill, Dirigo Health would need to exercise existing 
authority to keep program spending within available resources. The precise impact on the program cannot be 
detennined at this time.
