Based on information provided by the TSBDE, it is assumed that 66,000 licensees would be assessed an $80 surcharge when they obtain a first registration or renewal of their license which would result in a gain to the General Revenue-Dedicated--Public Assurance Account of approximately $5.3 million each fiscal year.
Based on the analysis of the TSBDE, it is assumed that an additional 9.0 FTEs would be required to enforce the provisions of the bill. In addition to salary and benefit costs in the amount of $703,484 in each fiscal year, it is assumed that the agency would incur other costs of $525,000 in Professional Fees and Services in fiscal year 2014 and $380,100 in each subsequent fiscal year, $34,000 in Travel in each fiscal year, $32,400 each fiscal year in rent for space for the additional FTEs, $56,582 in Other Costs in fiscal year 2014 and $45,882 in each subsequent fiscal year, and $28,800 in Equipment in fiscal year 2014 and $1,800 in each subsequent fiscal year.
In fiscal year 2013 the TSBDE reported approximately $1.4 million budgeted for enforcement purposes, it is assumed that amount would be continued for enforcement in addition to the costs related to the additional 9.0 FTEs in fiscal years 2014-2018 and be appropriated from the General Revenue-Dedicated--Public Assurance Account instead of the General Revenue Fund under current law. Since the TSBDE is statutorily required to cover the cost of its operations with fee generated revenue, it is assumed that the agency would adjust fees (other than the $80 surcharge) as necessary to implement the provisions of the bill.
Based on information provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, it is assumed that all duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
The bill would do one or more of the following: create or recreate a dedicated account in the General Revenue Fund, create or recreate a special or trust fund either within or outside of the Treasury, or create a dedicated revenue source. The fund, account, or revenue dedication included in the bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current Legislature.
