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.
No increase in expenses are anticipated since the Commission is only tasked with developing a plan for submittal to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
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 Commission contends that the West Virginia Bureau of Public Health (BPH) would be better suited to develop a plan to increase the number of water system operators since it governs the examination and classification of operators of public water systems (PWS) pursuant to its rules (64 CSR 4). The BPH has also considered ways to increase the number of water operators in West Virginia in the past.
