Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Adding back the provision in current law that allows mediators to be paid on a per dispute-mediated basis is not expected to have a fiscal impact on the Maine Labor Relations Board.
	This  amendment adds an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $32,058 to the Maine Labor Relations Board in fiscal year 2014-15 for the cost associated with the increase in payments to members of the Panel of Mediators from $100 to $300 for up to 4 hours of mediation services provided and from $100 to $300 for each consecutive period of up to 4 hours thereafter.  As this bill was not referred to committee, no opportunity was available to add the required allocation section.
