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. The State Athletic Commission would increase revenue by receiving a 3% gate fee from the gross proceeds of ticket sales and a 1.5% gate fee from the gross proceeds from live-streaming, pay-per-view, video rights, and rebroadcasting rights. The commission and support staff estimate that the revenue from the gate fees combined would total approximately $70,000. The commission and support staff estimate the revenue for the 3% gate fee from the gross proceeds for ticket sales based upon the 37 events held by the commission in 2022. The commission estimates the 3% gate fee for ticket sales would bring in an annual revenue of approximately $45,000 - $50,000. The commission is not able to specifically anticipate the revenue to be generated from a 1.5% gate fee from the gross proceeds from live-streaming, pay-per-view, video rights, and rebroadcasting rights as the commission has never received numbers regarding the gross revenue of such events. The commission’s estimate of revenue to be generated for the 1.5% gate fee is $ 15,000 - $20,000 annually. The commission would incur additional administrative expenses as a result of the proposed revenue increases in the amount of approximately $19,000.

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. The State Athletic Commission is proposing an amendment to fees paid to officials of events. This proposal would amend the fees to be paid to officials from $50 and $75 to $100 and $150, respectively. But the proposed amendments would not require promoters to incur any additional expenses as the amendment changes the statute to reflect the current pay rate charged by third-party officials and accepted by promoters. Any amendment to change the fee would only reflect the current rates received by third-party officials.
