EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
This measure is anticipated to result in an additional workload for the Louisiana Department of Health. LDH anticipates the
need for one new position (Program Manager 1) to collect and analyze data in order to conduct a statewide assessment of
violence and violence prevention activities in Louisiana. The department will develop and test qualitative and quantitative
data collection tools to assess the current continuum of activities across the state, identify key informants to survey and
interview from different sectors that represent community-based and state level entities/individuals, governmental and
nongovernmental representation, health, public safety and justice, and education. Once information is collected, LDH will
analyze and organize the findings, and produce and present a collaborative report. The table above reflects 9 months of
salary and related benefits ($95,613), which are annualized for a full year in FY 25 - 26 ($127,484). Salary related costs are
removed in FY 26 - 27 and future years as the data collection and assessment functions are no longer required.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
