Methodology
DPS estimates that an additional 600 background checks will have to be performed per fiscal year. This is expected to generate $20,550 in General Revenue Funds per fiscal year at $34.25 per background check. Of this total, the Federal Bureau of Investigations is entitled to $10,350 or $17.25 per background check. Adjusting for this cost to the General Revenue Fund, total net General Revenue gain for the biennium is $20,400. This analysis assumes DPS could implement the provisions of the bill within existing appropriations.
