FISCAL NOTE

 

 

	FY 2006	FY 2007	FY 2008
NON-ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
Anticipated Revenue Increase:
EARMARKED REVENUE	35,000	35,000	35,000
GENERAL FUND	600	600	600

 

Source of Revenue Increase:

 

The Pari-Mutuel Commission anticipates charging license fees of $100 per day of operation and assumes operations 350 days per year.  These funds would be deposited in the Earmarked Revenue Fund. The legislation states that the fees shall be established to ensure that the costs of administering this section are recovered through the permit fees.

 

Approximately 250 individuals are permitted by the Commission during the peak summer season.  It is assumed that existing permittees would be authorized to sell pull-tabs.  Each year, the Commission processes about 40 new permit applications, which would require state background checks. The Division of Criminal Investigation charges $15 for each fingerprint-based check against state files.  The legislation does not require a federal background check through the FBI. 

 

The fiscal impact of penalties for violations is indeterminable due to an unknown number of cases.

 

This bill has administrative impact that appears to increase (or decrease) duties or responsibilities of one or more state agencies and may impact agency spending or staffing requirements. As introduced, the bill does not modify any state agency budget or current personnel authorizations.

The following state agencies will be asked to provide their estimate of the administrative fiscal impact prior to the first committee meeting held to consider the bill:
