Estimated Two-year Net Impact to General Revenue Related Funds for HB 1256, As Engrossed: a negative impact of ($20,311,000) through the biennium ending August 31, 2023.
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions of the bill.
