The Department of Information Resources will administer a common
licensing system using the Internet. The department may contract with a
private vendor to implement the this section. The contractor will incur
all costs for development, implementation and operational costs for this
project.  All contractor costs will be recovered through appropriated
receipts (transaction fees and subscription fees). Therefore, there will
be no significant fiscal impact to the state.

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
