Methodology
Based on information provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, this analysis assumes the implementation of the bill would result in a decrease in revenue due to the elimination in fees for the salespersons licenses and educational requirement. According to CPA, the analysis reflects data gathered regarding the expected number of licenses issued and renewed by salespersons each fiscal year, both for the standard licensing requirement and for the educational requirement, and multiplied by the applicable fees. The result was then compared to total manufactured housing-related fees, for the relevant revenue category, in the 2014-15 Biennial Revenue Estimate. According to information provided by Department of Housing and Community Affairs, the fee for a salespersons license is $200 and is valid for two years and the fee for the educational requirement is $150. Total estimated revenue loss for each fiscal year: $201,000 in fiscal year 2014, $179,000 in fiscal year 2015, $194,000 in fiscal year 2016, $179,000 in fiscal year 2017 and $194,000 in fiscal year 2018; totaling $947,000 over a five-year period. The table above reflects these losses in Appropriated Receipts consistent with appropriations reflected in the General Appropriations Act.
