Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
There is no revenue or fee structure established in the bill. No revenues would be created as presented. This would require the addition of an Analyst and a Legal Staff Member to handle the increased work load. There is no one currently on staff with the expertise or experience, so there would be training and development needed to create the position and have an employee ready. There would also need to be equipment and supplies for the specific duties as described.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
There is no revenue or fee structure established in the bill. No revenues would be created as presented. This would require the addition of an Analyst and a Legal Staff Member (combined $190,000 salary and benefits estimate) to handle the increased work load. There is no one currently on staff with the expertise or experience, so there would be training and development needed to create the position and have an employee ready (estimated $20,000 for travel and training annually). There would also need to be equipment and supplies for the specific duties as described (estimated $10,000 for the first year).
Memorandum
There is no revenue or fee structure established to support the employee/benefit costs etc. There is no one currently on staff with the expertise and/or experience to establish and carry the work as described. The individual landowners would maintain the right to sue in a Court of Law. Having no cost to initiate the application for relief, there may be numerous filings and could potentially grow exponentially increasing costs in subsequent years. The bill does not stipulate whether is includes Real Property and Personal Property or strictly Real Property. The Hearing structure is not specified to include if this is an "in-person" hearing, if this hearing would require taking of an oath, etc., which would also create more expenses depending on the setup, making it difficult to estimate proper current expenses annually.
