                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Economic Development - Divisions of Finance
and Credit Unions indicate that this legislation would have no effect on
their agencies.

Officials of the Department of Natural Resources also assume that this
legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency, although they
indicate it would limit the Department's ability to recover cleanup costs
related to environmental contamination by broadening the definition of who is
considered a representative under Creditor Protection laws.

DESCRIPTION

This legislation would include qualified trusts and qualified intermediaries
as representatives holding property or acting in a fiduciary capacity whose
liability for environmental violations is limited under the state's creditor
protection laws.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
