Fiscal Note

HB0312 - Office of Recovery Services Fee

State Impact:
This legislation authorizes but does not require the Office of Recovery Services to enact rules to charge fees to replace some or all of the state funding. Total state funding is about $11.7 million. However, if the Office of Recovery Services decides to replace fees (dedicated credits) for the state portion, approximately two-thirds of such collections would result in a dollar for dollar reduction in federal funds. Dedicated credits may not be used for match.

Individual and Business Impact:
If fees were increased, there would be an impact on either custodial or non-custodial parents, legal guardians or the punitive parent.
