Fiscal Analysis

The bill would make appropriations in the 2022-23 biennium from the General Revenue Fund, State Highway Fund, GR Account - Lottery, and GR Account - Designated Trauma Facilities and EMS, to pay miscellaneous claims and judgments against the state.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2021.

Methodology

The costs in the above tables represent the increased appropriation authority in fiscal year 2022 to pay the specific claims and judgments listed in this bill. 

Costs to the General Revenue Fund in the above tables represent only payments for claim amounts and do not include additional interest payments, as the final payment date is unknown at this time. Assuming September 1, 2021 as the final payment date, the state would need to pay an additional $124,887.82 in interest.


Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
