FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Social Services and Department of Health assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to the agencies.
Officials from the Department of Mental Health assume the proposal could result in sheltered workshops seeking to provide other services which the Division purchases for clients. This could result in more choices for consumers, but no more funds spent on services.
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) assume the bill would provide additional flexibility to sheltered workshop boards by allowing them to provide additional services on behalf of persons with disabilities. The potential would exist for such boards to develop services and receive some of the SB 40 levy monies currently going to sheltered workshops. This could have a significant impact in terms of reduced revenues for existing sheltered workshops. The potential would also exist for these boards to provide persons with disabilities services which could be reimbursed by third-party public and/or private insurance payments.
The Oversight Division assumes the proposal would result in no fiscal impact at the state level because the state aid is unchanged. The proposal would also result in no fiscal impact at the local level because without a voter-approved tax increase additional services would be provided with existing resources.
