Based on the analysis of the Department of Licensing and Regulation, it is assumed that a revenue loss would be realized with the implementation of the bill; however, it is also assumed that the amount of revenue lost from the licensing and administrative penalty collections of approximately 57 licenses each year would be insignificant.
