FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION


Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education assume this proposed legislation would appear to benefit certain school districts at a nominal expense to the state in terms of bidding process costs and computing the distribution of the bid award monies to the schools.


Officials from the Department of Revenue assume costs of approximately $1,700 per location for training. Those costs would be absorbed with existing staff.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION


This proposal requires the Department of Revenue to award fee office contracts in the following priority:


(1) To school districts or coalitions of school districts;


(2) To charitable organizations; and


(3) To individuals through a competitive bidding process.


Any revenues generated as a result of the competitive bidding process must be distributed on a per-pupil basis to the school districts in the county where the fee office is located.


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