Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2011 General Session

SB0182 - Construction Trades Licensing Amendments

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this legislation will result in revenue of $412,700 in FY 2012 and $288,300 in odd-numbered years therafter. Commerce Department expenses associated with the new licensure are estimated at $146,800 in FY 2012 and $127,800 annually thereafter. Commerce Service Fund revenue and expenditures affect the annual transfer to the General Fund. As such, this bill will result in transfers to the General Fund of $265,900 in FY 2012 and $160,500 in FY 2013 and every odd-numbered year after that. Transfers to the Genral Fund will decrease by $160,500 in even-numbered years after FY 2013.

Local Governments (UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.

Direct Expenditures by Utah Residents and Businesses (UCA 36-12-13(2)(d)):
Enactment of this legislation would require an estimated 3,750 licensees to pay the $110 application fee in FY 2012. An additional 25 applicants are expected monthly after the first year. Renewal fees of $63 will be paid during odd-numbered years. In addition, licensees would be required to pay for the continuing education as required in the bill.
