38 determined by the administrator that the applicant meets all of the require-
39 ments of this chapter to qualify him to do such other work.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15365
The proposed changes will allow the Board greater
flexibility in dealing with the costs of administration,
discipline, enforcement and educational outreach programs.
FISCAL NOTE
There will be no fiscal impact on the general fund. The
division of building safety anticipates that there will be an
increase in revenue resulting from assessment of an increased fee
for licensure, depending on the amount of the increase over
existing fees. The maximum change that could be generated, at
existing licensure numbers, would be approximately $307,000.00.
