Explanation
Sections 1-2 expand the opportunity for occupations licensed by the
Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) and results in a potential
revenue gain to the state to the extent additional licenses are applied
for. The state charges various application and renewal fees for the
occupations licensed by DCP.
Section 3 requires various agencies to report to the Office of Policy
and Management regarding background checks resulting in no fiscal
impact to the state because the agencies have the expertise to meet the
reporting requirements.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of license applications
and renewals.
