Explanation
The bill results in a potential General Fund revenue gain of up to
$25,000 per year, beginning in FY 25, from requiring businesses to get
separate commercial kennel, grooming facility, and training facility
licenses from the Department of Agriculture. The annual revenue gain
will be dependent on the number of licensed commercial kennels that
are also engaged in the business of grooming or training that will need
to obtain a separate license for these operations.
The other provisions of the bill make modifications to current statutes
that are not anticipated to result in a state or municipal fiscal impact.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above will continue
subject the number of businesses applying annually for multiple
licenses.
