Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill is anticipated to result in a cost to the General Fund of
approximately $124,000 in FY 22 and $101,900 in FY 23, as the
Department of Housing (DOH) currently lacks the staff capacity to
conduct the ongoing data collection, analysis, and biennial reporting
required under the bill.
It is assumed that DOH would need to hire a research analyst at a
cost of approximately $99,000 ($70,000 salary and $29,000 fringe
benefits) in FY 22 and $101,900 in FY 23. Additionally, DOH is
anticipated to incur up to $25,000 in costs for consulting services
and/or training, in FY 22 only, to establish the new activities internally
at the agency.

administered by the Comptroller. The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost
associated with most personnel changes is 41.3% of payroll in FY 22 and FY 23. 2021HB-06239-R000103-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
