STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES:

$0 (No additional expenditures or savings are expected)

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON FEDERAL & OTHER FUND EXPENDITURES IS:

$0 (No additional expenditures or savings are expected)

EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:

    Since employees of the Charleston County Airport District are not state employees there will be no additional cost on the General Fund of the State nor on federal and/or other funds.

SPECIAL NOTES:

    There are approximately 100 employees of the district. Based on the weighted average cost of $3,505 per subscriber in the state health plan, there would be an annual cost of approximately $350,500 to the district to include these employees in the state health plan. The estimated cost to each employee is approximately $825 per year.
