Total Expenditures $0 $0 $0

Assuming current funding levels and changes in liability costs under this bill, enactment of this legislation will not not materially impact state expenditures. Since liability cost changes from a recent court decision reduced projected state liability costs by an estimated $2,007,200 ongoing (of which $782,800 is GF/ITF), the state could forego projected cost savings in the same amount beginning in FY 2027 as liability cost estimates revert to the same levels prior to the court ruling.
