Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


Please explain increases and decreases in personal services, current expenses, repairs and alterations, assets, other costs and revenues, including assumptions and data sources and delineation between start-up and ongoing costs. Please also include a long-range schedule of costs and revenues if fiscal impact is expected to vary in future years. HB3133 would require DOH Engineering Division staff to review drawings and ensure these projects are constructed to our standard. This would require approximately eighty (80) hours per project for the review and possible more of other oversight if needed. The estimated cost shown assumes one (1) project per month for twelve (12) months.



Memorandum


Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form. There is no way to fully determine the cost to the agency without have a more definite number of projects per year this legislation would generate. However, DOH notes the cost is minimal and would be offset by the benefit of road improvement.
