FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

In a similar previous proposal, officials from the Department of Economic Development - Division of Professional Registration (DPR), Department of Economic Development - Division of Finance (DOF) and the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOL) assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



FISCAL IMPACT - State Government FY 2000 FY 2001 FY 2002
(10 Mo.)
0 0 0
FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2000 FY 2001 FY 2002

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
This proposal could have a direct fiscal impact on certain small businesses to the extent they would no longer be required to obtain an audit.


DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation would exempt small mortgage brokers from audit requirements if they post and maintain a bond in a specified amount, designed to adequately protect members of the public who are transacting business with the licensee.

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

This proposal would not affect Total State Revenues.
