Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
There is a revenue loss to the General Fund resulting from the bill,
which exempts certain small hot water heaters from inspection by the
Department of Administrative Services (DAS). The certification fee for
applicable water heaters is $80 and DAS collected approximately $1.2
million in fees in FY 20. It is anticipated that the number of water
heaters made exempt under the bill is small relative to the overall
number of water heaters statewide and therefore the revenue loss is
expected to be minimal.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
