FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION


Officials from the Coordinating Board of Higher Education, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of Revenue and State Treasurer's Office assume no fiscal impact to their agency.


Officials from the State Auditor's Office (SAU) assume in FY07 the SAU registered 155 bonds. The number of bonds varies each year, but usually stays within the 150 - 200 per year range. The SAU spends approximately 5 hours to register each bond. In FY07, that generated $1,020,782 in registration fee revenue, based upon the current statutory fee of ten cents per each one hundred dollars of the face value of the bond. Based upon the proposal, the registration fee revenue would drop to $38,750. Based upon these calculations the proposal will decrease General Revenue by approximately $982,032 each year in registration fees.
