SB 130 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to renewals of licenses of certain electricians.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Electricians Board stated this bill, as amended by the House, may have a significant negative impact on general fund revenue and expenditures. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Board estimated this bill will result in a loss of general fund revenue of between $11,000, if the bill applies only to those states that the Board has reciprocity with, and $200,000 if the impact is determined based on all licensees with a New Hampshire address. This wide range results from an ambiguity in this bill and the corresponding administrative rules. The Board is a 125% board, therefor, any impact on revenue will have an equivalent impact on the Board's expenditures.
