The bill would amend the Occupations Code to provide for the licensing and regulation of appliance installers and appliance installation contractors.
The provision of the bill prohibiting a person or business from performing or offering to perform appliance installation unless the person holds an appropriate license would take effect March 1, 2008. The remaining provisions of the bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
Based on information provided by the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), this analysis assumes that there would be a licensing population of 5,500 appliance installers and 1,500 appliance installation contractors.
It is estimated that TDLR would have a cost associated with licensing the appliance installers and appliance installation contractors. Based on the analysis of TDLR, it is assumed that licensing these appliance installers and appliance installation contractors would necessitate additional resources at a cost of $427,265 through 2009.
TDLR also estimates costs for staff of $111,930 for 3.5 FTEs in each fiscal year from 2008 through fiscal year 2012. Other operating expenses and equipment are estimated at $111,400 in fiscal year 2008 and $28,675 in each fiscal year from 2009 through 2012. Estimated costs also include $31,665 in each fiscal year from 2008 through fiscal year 2012 for associated benefits.
This analysis assumes that any increased costs resulting from this bill would be offset by an increase in fee generated revenue.
There would be a technology cost to the Department of Licensing and Regulation of $8,050 in fiscal year 2008.
