Methodology
Based on the analysis provided by FSC, the bill would require 1 new FTE, legal assistant, to review additional complaints regarding the validity of agreements between landowners and the public regarding ingress and egress from cemetaries. The FTE would cost $46,000 for salary and wages with associated benefits cost of $13,142 in each fiscal year of 2010-11. Additional one time costs in fiscal year 2010 would be $6,000. This analysis assumes that any increased costs resulting from the implementation of the provisions of this bill would be offset with fee-generated general revenue. Based on the analysis provided by the Department of Banking, this bill would have no fiscal impact on the agency.
