STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10482
The fee cap increase in this legislation will allow the
board to increase fees by rule. Fee increases are
necessary to generate additional funding for continued
board operation and will prevent the board from incurring a
deficit account. This legislation also allows the board the
discretion to apply discipline other than the suspension or
revocation of a license. This action is taken at the Deputy
AG's suggestion which will allow the board to enter into
consent agreements with licensees to assess fines and
recover costs rather than being forced to go through the
hearing process (which is more costly to both the board and
the licensee; typically $5 - $50 thousand).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund. An increase
in fees will be necessary by rule to meet operating
expenses. The overall estimated increase in annual revenue
is $17,000 in dedicated funds.
