III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)

A. A 3.5 percent increase in rates will cause the expenditures of the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) for community services to increase by an estimated $39,116,904 in total funds. The total general funds impact of these changes is $20,523,282.

D. Regulated provider agencies will benefit from increases to rates by an estimated $39,116,904 in total funds ($20,523,282 in general funds).

Economic Impact on Small Businesses

The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small business. An analysis of this economic impact follows.

The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small businesses because the higher reimbursement rates infuse dollars into provider agency entities that provide these services in the community.

Impact on Individuals with Disabilities

The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.
