Revenue: DSHS estimates that 5,500 individuals would be required to obtain a license, and indicates that a fee of $20 would be charged for a one-year license and a fee of $40 for a two-year license. In 2006 it is assumed 5,550 licenses would be issued, half for a one-year term and half for a two-year term. In fiscal years 2006-2010 it is assumed 2,775 two-year licenses would be issued in each year. Total gain to the General Revenue Fund in 2006 is estimated to be $114,465 and $110,285 in each year thereafter.
Costs: It is assumed that there would be three public members of the advisory committee. DSHS anticipates the advisory committee would meet four times in 2006 and twice each year thereafter to advise DSHS on rule-making. Travel costs are estimated to be $6,600 in 2006 and $3,300 in each year for 2007-2010. DSHS indicates that 2.5 FTEs would be necessary to administer the regulatory program. FTE costs and positions are estimated to be phased in (75%) for 2006, with total costs of $53,789 for salaries and wages and $15,997 for fringe benefits. Staff costs for 2007-2010 are estimated to be $93,000 in each year. The State Office of Administrative Hearings indicates an estimate of costs to SOAH cannot be determined, and DSHS would be billed at SOAH's hourly rate for administrative hearings (not included in this cost estimate).
