The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of the bill during each of the first five years following passage is estimated as follows: Fiscal Probable Cost Out Change in Year of General Number of State Revenue Fund 001 Employees from FY 1995 1996 $224,947 5.0 1997 197,687 5.0 1998 204,947 5.0 1999 197,687 5.0 2000 204,947 5.0 Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the provisions of the bill are in effect.
