OFA Fiscal Note
See Fiscal Note Details
The amendment retains the current fee language for violating
existing law's written contract provisions in section 2 which removes the
potential revenue loss from this section in the underlying bill.
The amendment removes the Department of Consumer Protection's
(DCP) ability to charge a fee of up to $15 when an individual convicted
of a criminal offense request to know if it disqualifies them from
obtaining a certificate or license resulting in a potential revenue loss to
the state to the extent these fees are assessed.
Section 503 increases the civil penalty to not more than $5,000 per
violation and removes the cap on civil penalties for any single event
resulting in a potential revenue gain to the state to the extent that these
violations occur.
The amendment also makes various minor changes regarding DCP
licensing and enforcement resulting in no fiscal impact to the state.
