If enacted, the bill would take effect September 1, 2001. Methodology It is estimated $200,000 of revenue for the new Barber School Tuition Protection Account in fiscal year 2002 would be generated by levying a fee on each of the 28 barber schools in the state. Each school would have to pay an initial fee of $7,142.86 in fiscal year 2002 to bring the account up to the $200,000 balance that would be required by the bill. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
