SUMMARY OF DISCHARGED BILL
Senate Bill 571 (as discharged)
Sponsor: Senator Sarah Anthony
Committee: Appropriations (discharged)
CONTENT
The bill would amend the State License Fee Act to allow the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to promulgate rules to increase State licensing fees.
The Act provides for the collection of fees and for the investigation, regulation, and enforcement of certain occupations and professions.
The bill would allow the Department, at the beginning of each State fiscal year, to promulgate rules to increase the fees by a percentage amount not to exceed the average percentage wage and salary increase granted for that fiscal year to classified civil service employees who are employed by LARA.
If the Department increased fees under the bill, the increase would be effective for that fiscal year and the Department would have to use the increased fees as the basis for calculating a fee increase in subsequent fiscal years. By August 1 of each year, the Department would have to provide the Director of the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget and the chairpersons of the Senate and House of Representatives Appropriations Committees a complete schedule of fees to be collected under the bill for the following fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would have a positive fiscal impact on State government and no fiscal impact on local government. The total impact is indeterminate and would depend on the amount of the fee increases, which the Department would determine.
