Potential current biennium revenue increase - General Fund 
Potential future biennium revenue decrease - General Fund. 
) 
This amendment increases lifetime nonresident infant combination license fees to $1,200, which is $400 more than d') 
$800 fee that was established in the committee amendment. Demographic information does not exist in a form that 
,-
would allow an accurate estimate of the revenue impact. It is unknown how many nonresidents may take advantage of 
this license or how many nonresidents who would purchase a lifetime license would have continued to hunt and fish in 
Maine as adults without the lifetime license. It is expected that General Fund revenue would increase over the first 
few years as nonresidents decide to purchase this license. At some point in the future, however, revenue would begin 
to decrease as new lifetime license sales ievel off and nonresidents who hold lifetime Iice~ses come to Maine to hunt 
and fish without the need to purchase additional licenses.

It is assumed that this new ticket would be a $1 ticket. It is also assumed that 100% of sales related to this ticket 
would come from people who are already playing the lottery and switch from another ticket to this ticket. Based upon 
previous experience with dedicated lottery tickets, it is estimated that the amount transferred to the Native American 
Boys and Girls Club Fund would be $337,500 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $810,000 beginning in fiscal year 20 10-11. 
This transfer would consist of $5,400 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $12,960 beginning in fiscal year 2010-11 from the 
Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, an Other Special Revenue Fund, and $332, I 00 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $797,040 
beginning in fiscal year 2010-11 from the General Fund. The distribution of revenue loss to Other Special Revenue 
Funds and General Fund is based upon the ratio of total lottery sales. This bill includes an Other Special Revenue 
Funds allocation of $337,500 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $810,000 in fiscal year 20 10-11 for the Native American 
Boys and Girls Club Fund.

The replacement of the Dirigo Savings Offset Payment (SOP) with a fixed 2.14% access payment on claims paid by 
health insurance carriers, 3rd party administrators and employee benefit excess insurance carriers beginning 
September 1,2009 is projected to result in a net increase ofDirigo Health Fund revenue of $2,033,333 in 2009-10 and 
$400,000 in 2010-11. This estimate is based on a comparison of 2010-2011 budgeted SOP revenue calculated on an 
accrual basis with estimated access payments calculated on a one month accrual basis (i.e., for 2009-10, 10 months of 
payments are assumed to be collected). It is assumed that other changes to the Dirigo Health program detailed in the 
bill will be implemented within existing budgeted resources.
