FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the State Treasurer's Office (STO) assume this proposal establishes the Pesticide Fee Fund. The treasurer will the be the custodian. Money will be used solely for the administration of programs within the Bureau of Pesticide Control. It would be exempt from the biennial transfer and retains interest. The proposal increases pesticide fees from $15 to $50. These monies will be deposited in the pesticide fee fund instead of general revenue.
Officials from the Department of Agriculture (AGR) assume this position will manage the pesticide registration program and the pesticide technician program and would provide support to current staff for pesticide applicator training.
It is anticipated that AGR would receive 11,500 label registration applications at $50 each. This would generate approximately $575,000 of revenue out of which would be used for program expenses saving the state $454,901 that is currently used in general revenue.
Oversight assumes any need for additional resources, i.e. replacement of personnel to administer this program will be pursued through the normal budgetary process.
