FISCAL NOTE

	FY 2006	FY 2007	FY 2008
NON-ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
Anticipated Revenue Increase:
GAME & FISH FUND	87,500	87,500	87,500

Source of Revenue Increase:

A fee assessed when a license is paid for with electronic payment.  Initially, and indefinitely, this charge will only apply to Internet license sales and Internet limited quota applications.

 

Assumptions:

The fees associated with electronic payments, as discussed in 23-1-302 (o), are expected to offset, in part, all cost assessed to the department for accepting electronic payments (merchant fees).  These fees, and associated costs, are not readily identifiable or determinable at this time.  The revenue above was estimated by assuming 25% of the limited quota draw applications will be submitted via the Internet (43,750 applications), and for each application submitted through its own Internet session, a $2.00 fee will be assessed.  The $2.00 fee will be charged per Internet session, and is not dependent upon the dollar amount or the number of licenses purchased during one Internet session. 

 

Anticipated Revenue Decrease:
GAME & FISH FUND	56,750	56,750	56,750

Source of Revenue Decrease:

The figure above represents estimated lost interest income from Internet applications for the limited quota draws where the applicant does not remit total license fees, but only remits the application fee. 

 

Assumptions:

The figure above assumes 25 percent of the limited quota applications will be submitted via the Internet.
