Explanation
The cost to the Department of Transportation (DOT) in FY 10 to hire a consultant to analyze and produce a report on the reestablishment of tolls on Connecticut roads is estimated to be greater than $500,000.
The requirement that the analysis and report be produced within available appropriations will likely result in one of four outcomes: (1) DOT will proceed with the analysis and report, and will require a deficiency appropriation during FY 10; (2) DOT will delay the implementation of the analysis and report pending the approval of additional appropriations to meet this mandate in future fiscal years; (3) DOT will shift administrative resources from other department priorities, thereby impacting existing departmental programs; or (4) DOT will not perform the analysis and publish the report.
The Out Years
There is no out year fiscal impact because the cost of the consultants is a one-time expenditure.
