FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Public Safety - Fire Safety assume no fiscal impact to their division.
Officials of the Jefferson County - County Counselor’s Office stated that this proposal would have a negative fiscal impact on Jefferson County. Officials stated that in 2007, the county collected approximately forty-nine thousand two hundred dollars in revenue from license fees for plumbers and drain layers. Officials stated that this proposal would prohibit the county from licensing these professionals, which assures it’s citizens that their work was being done by licensed professionals.
Oversight assumes that the county would no longer collect certain licensing and regulatory fees and would no longer have the costs of enforcement, which would include inspections and administration. Oversight assumes the fiscal impact would be $0.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Small businesses located in certain counties would no longer have to purchase building permits or pay certain fees when undertaking repair or building projects.
FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Currently, the counties of Clay and Jefferson are authorized, without voter approval, to adopt building and construction regulations; require building permits; license certain building contractors; require inspections; establish and collect fees for permits, licenses, and inspections; and appoint a building commission to oversee these regulations, permits, licenses, and inspections. This bill repeals that authority.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
