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


It is anticipated that there will be no positive or negative fiscal impact from these changes. The graduated nature of the price for lifetime licenses according to age at purchase will allow for enough interest to be earned to make up the difference between juvenile and adult lifetime license costs.



Memorandum


There is potential to gain lifetime license sales as the infant price is being reduced (currently 50% lowered to 40%). A new recruitment opportunity created by the tiered structure of lifetime licenses for persons ages 2-15 years has potential to gain lifetime license sales, also. For the purpose of this analysis the projections are zero because this is a new opportunity and projections are unavailable for purchases from 2-15 years of age.
