The Department of
Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry estimates that there are 525
municipalities with a population of 5,000 or less that could be affected by
this bill and has assumed that 250 of these municipalities would be impacted
with one additional redemption center in each. The department would require a General Fund
appropriation of $71,117 in fiscal year 2013-14 and $75,472 in fiscal year
2014-15 for one Consumer Protection Inspector position and related costs to
inspect additional redemption centers.
At the existing license fee of $50 the 250 new redemption centers
would generate $1,250 annually in dedicated revenue. |
