Explanation
(This amendment funds the expected increase in real property grant applications after adjusting for the expected change to the real property grant program. An additional $2.0 million is needed to avoid proration of benefits for eligible recipients in FY 2008 even after increasing the dollar threshold for receiving the maximum grant of $250,000 to $5,000,000 in real property improvements. In 2006, applications exceeded eligible benefits by $8.0 million. Adjustments to the program will reduce the need by $4.0 million and the Governor proposed an increase of $2.0 million in House Bill 1650 as introduced.)
