Explanation
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
The amendment, which (among other requirements) tasks the
Commissioner of the Department of Public Health with convening
working groups to determine whether Connecticut should join any
interstate licensure compacts, is not anticipated to result in a fiscal
impact to the state or municipalities. PA 17-236 prohibits transportation
allowances for working group members.
The amendment expands 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 2021HB-06449-R00LCO10223-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
occupations licensed by DCP.
The amendment 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 annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of license applications
and renewals.
