         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB3059 ( Relating 
to the regulation of on-site sewage disposal facilities.) this 
office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB3059-Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
         

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government 
is anticipated.  Local governments which own their own electric 
utilities could experience some additional costs associated 
with this bill's weekly reporting requirement.

The bill would 
require submission of contract and performance bonds for on-site 
sewage disposal systems to authorized agents, including local 
governments acting as agents.  The bill would allow reasonable 
fees to be established and collected so that administrative 
costs for the performance bond program could be recovered.
