FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1620 (Relating to licensing fees of veterinarians.) this office
has determined the following:

The bill would reinstate the $200 annual fee on veterinarians.


The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first  five years following passage
is estimated as follows:



            Fiscal   Probable Revenue 
             Year   Gain to   General 
                     Revenue Fund 001 
                                      
          1996                $993,000
                                      
          1997               1,012,000
          1998               1,029,000
                                      
          1999               1,048,000
          2000               1,067,000
                                      
                                      
                                      

Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.

No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
