No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require applicants for a new mortgage broker license to pass a pre-licensing test offered by the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators.  The bill does not require the testing for renewal of a license.  The Savings and Loan Department indicates the cost of the test would be paid directly to the testing administrator by the applicant.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
