        FROM:  John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
  
       IN RE:  HJR98  by Raymond (Proposing a constitutional amendment
               to dedicate net revenue from the state lottery to public
               school purposes.), As Introduced
  
**************************************************************************
*  No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.                    *
**************************************************************************
  
The resolution seeks to constitutionally dedicate net lottery proceeds to
public education and reduce other general revenue appropriations for
public education by a like amount.  Lottery proceeds are statutorily
dedicated to public education under current law, and therefore this
amendment would have no fiscal implication for the state.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
