The Office of Comptroller General CraneHusband

[Ancestral Republican]

Hello,

I wanted to start this thread to organize any requests for funding reviews for new bills. This is the best way to get the process going. After a bill is passed, or if it needs to be reviewed before a bill, post it here. That way I know what needs my attention.

Thank You,
CraneHusband

Hello Mr. Comptroller. Congrats on the appointment.

I'm compiling a list of bills since Budget FY 2020 that may affect this year's budget. I was pretty liberal about adding bills to this list, FYI. Here is the list:

14th Parliament (all bills in wiki passed below Budget)
FT 14.08 Prison Reform Package (impact unknown, but probably small)
FT 14.11 Bestiality Criminalization Act (like above, generates revenue thru fines?)
FT 14.09 Custody Forfeiture Act (like above - small impact probable)
FT 14.10 Commonwealth Fuel & Power Act (this one's probably gonna hurt)
FT 14.14 Diesel Tax Abolition Act (unsure if this is still in application but if it is it affects us)
FT 14.12 Lobbying Restriction Act (small impact thru fines?)
FT 14.15 Right to Strike Act (again, small impact through fines?)
FT 14.13 Fremont's Homeless Integration Act (like 14.14, unsure if this is still in effect, but if so, there's an impact)
FT 14.17 Regional Linguistic Freedom Act (doubt this affects the budget but who knows)
FT 14.16 WJCA II (small impact thru fines?)
FT 14.25 Please Don't Club Seals Act (small impact thru fines?)

15th Parliament
FT 15.03 Right to Organize (potential fine revenue)
FT 15.05 Medical Price Control Act (there's expenditure here for certain, though the number is as of yet undetermined)
FT 15.08 Fremont Emergency Schooling Act (like above - undetermined expenditure)
FT 15.09 Fremont Nicotine Tax Act (ah yes, new revenue)
FT 15.12 Fremont Criminal Justice Reform Act (lots of fines/moving parts here)
FT 15.01 Public Transportation Expansions/Connections Act ($21 billion in yearly expenditure + a one-time $500 million payment for HSR upgrades)
FT 15.11 Basic Income Guarantee Pilot Program Act (Ouch. That said, I remember doing napkin math that said this shouldn't cost more than a billion...)
FT 15.14 Fremont Higher Education Reform Act (will almost certainly impact the budget)

16th Parliament
FT 16.03 Feed Fremonters Act (this will cost $$$)
FT 15.18 Right to Bear Arms (costs no more than $5 billion annually, potentially mitigated by existing healthcare expenditure)
FT 16.02 Green Futures Act ($350 million in yearly green energy funding, plus several tax effects)
FT 16.06 Animal Lives Matter Act (small fine impact)
FT 16.12 Fremont Public Safety Act (definitely impacts here)
FT 16.11 Hugo Black Assis. of Counsel Act (funded by the feds iirc but just to be safe)
FT 16.10 Green Commuting Act (definitely impacts here, if small)
FT 16.17 PHAT TUSH Act (upon passage, which appears certain, will have effects)

This is a list I compiled of Fremont bills that may affect our region's budget for next year. Could you provide an estimate of the net expenditure needed to fund there? Thank you.

Thank you MP Blue Dog. I will post preliminary estimates by the end of the week.

What I have so far -
Will finish and edit this tomorrow morning.
I acknowledge Speaker Dragon and Rep. Madigan's requests. New figures will be processed by the end of this upcoming week.

I'm compiling a list of bills since Budget FY 2020 that may affect this year's budget. I was pretty liberal about adding bills to this list, FYI. Here is the list:

14th Parliament (all bills in wiki passed below Budget)
FT 14.08 Prison Reform Package (impact unknown, but probably small) ~$500,000 to ensure any Atlasian prison has the resources to implement program
FT 14.11 Bestiality Criminalization Act (like above, generates revenue thru fines?) Fine revenue and existing enforcement agency provision
FT 14.09 Custody Forfeiture Act (like above - small impact probable) Fine revenue
FT 14.10 Commonwealth Fuel & Power Act (this one's probably gonna hurt) Not immediately having access to the figures in the formula for the bill, I am giving this a preliminary cost of $20,000,000,000 based on an estimate I read for a similar plan
FT 14.14 Diesel Tax Abolition Act (unsure if this is still in application but if it is it affects us) I will leave this aside for now until we know whether it applies to the current budgetary projection ^a
FT 14.12 Lobbying Restriction Act (small impact thru fines?) Fine revenue
FT 14.15 Right to Strike Act (again, small impact through fines?) Fine revenue
FT 14.13 Fremont's Homeless Integration Act (like 14.14, unsure if this is still in effect, but if so, there's an impact) ^a
FT 14.17 Regional Linguistic Freedom Act (doubt this affects the budget but who knows) No budgetary impact outside of potential further legislation for grant efforts
FT 14.16 WJCA II (small impact thru fines?) Fine revenue
FT 14.25 Please Don't Club Seals Act (small impact thru fines?)Fine revenue


15th Parliament
FT 15.03 Right to Organize (potential fine revenue) Fine Revenue
FT 15.05 Medical Price Control Act (there's expenditure here for certain, though the number is as of yet undetermined) I will give this a preliminary estimate of $5.5 million, although it might be best to set a more specific outlook on the scope of expenditures.
FT 15.08 Fremont Emergency Schooling Act (like above - undetermined expenditure) Preliminary estimate - $17 million
FT 15.09 Fremont Nicotine Tax Act (ah yes, new revenue) Yep. Tax revenue
FT 15.12 Fremont Criminal Justice Reform Act (lots of fines/moving parts here) Fine revenue here - I'm unsure of any new expenditures that would be connected
FT 15.01 Public Transportation Expansions/Connections Act ($21 billion in yearly expenditure + a one-time $500 million payment for HSR upgrades) Basically this.
FT 15.11 Basic Income Guarantee Pilot Program Act (Ouch. That said, I remember doing napkin math that said this shouldn't cost more than a billion...) I'll take your word for it and put it around $950,000,000, but I am looking for updated census data and will revise this if necessary.
FT 15.14 Fremont Higher Education Reform Act (will almost certainly impact the budget) Est. ~30 million

16th Parliament
FT 16.03 Feed Fremonters Act (this will cost $$$) $10 million
FT 15.18 Right to Bear Arms (costs no more than $5 billion annually, potentially mitigated by existing healthcare expenditure) Looks correct to me.
FT 16.02 Green Futures Act ($350 million in yearly green energy funding, plus several tax effects) ^^^
FT 16.06 Animal Lives Matter Act (small fine impact) Fine revenue
FT 16.12 Fremont Public Safety Act (definitely impacts here) $4,000,000 per year plus potential riders
FT 16.11 Hugo Black Assis. of Counsel Act (funded by the feds iirc but just to be safe) N/A
FT 16.10 Green Commuting Act (definitely impacts here, if small) $500,000 or so? Plus hit to tax revenue to be determined later
FT 16.17 PHAT TUSH Act (upon passage, which appears certain, will have effects) Around $3,500,000

Apologies for the delay on the recent requests everyone. My past few days have been filled with either working or (unsuccessfully) trying to get a COVID test. I comment from my phone but haven't been able to spend much time at my computer. Give me a few days and I'll have some more numbers up.

[Ancestral Republican]

Fremont is up to date now. More tomorrow.

any update?

Sorry, I worked on the figures for Lincoln yesterday morning before work and will get them out tomorrow on my day off. Got sidetracked by the political stuff last week.

[Ancestral Republican]

Hello. Lincoln could use assistance in scoring the following bills for our budget:


L.C. 8.2: Criminal Justice Reform Act of 2020
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=388163.0


[3,000,000, potential revenue]

L.C. 7.8: Amendment to L.C. 6.21 (We've already scored the carbon tax increase, so disregard that section)
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=372459.0

[10,000,000 to start]

L.C. 7.6: Honoring Civil War Heroes Act
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=371862.0

[500,000 to 1,000,000]

L.C. 7.7: Hospital Relief Bill
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=371952.0

[260,000,000,000 - stated funds plus extra for grants and other potential costs]

L.C. 5.8: Lincoln Really Cares about Climate Change Act
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=348938.0

[50,000,000, although number is potentially different based on increase in funds from cancelled subsidies]

L.C. 4.3: Tourist Tax Act
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=335240.0

[Tax revenue - calculate this based on estimates in bill]

L.C. 4.2: thr33's Lincoln School Clothing Subsidy Act - Has been repealed, but we need a score for the expenses of this bill while it was in effect: 9/28/19 to 4/13/20
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=335239.0

[~20,000,000]

Lincoln numbers.

I've also been asked to provide a cost estimate for H.B. 26-13 by Speaker Cao.

Considering all the moving parts I'm going to put that cost on an annual basis of around 250-280 million. Part of that will be a decrease in tax revenue.

Next on the agenda is the parsing of additional requests that have been submitted. Be on the lookout for those.

Thank you,

Comptroller General CraneHusband

[Ancestral Republican]

Can you clarify your estimate for the PHAT TUSH Act? It looks like you're saying it cost the region $3.5 M, which is odd to me, as it is a tax. Or am I missing something?

It was my impression upon reading it that the regulatory implementation would require some funding to kick off.
