IN RE:
HB2836 by Thierry (Relating to a study and report on the establishment and implementation of a program that provides financial assistance to property owners who offer housing to veterans at risk of homelessness.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would direct the Comptroller of Public Accounts to conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility, methods, and costs of establishing and implementing a program that provides financial assistance to property owners who offer housing to veterans at risk of homelessness. A report of the study and any recommendations would be submitted to the Legislature not later than September 1, 2018. The bill would take effect immediately upon receipt of a two-thirds vote of all members elected to each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Based on the analysis of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, costs to conduct the study could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
