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.
In 9 of the last 13 years, fees collected per 47 CSR 32 exceeded the fee cap specified in 22-1-15. This change is needed so that Laboratory Certification Program can comply with both legislative requirements. Because fees are set forth in 47 CSR 32 and makes the program open to any laboratory that wishes to apply, WVDEP Laboratory Certification Program cannot control whether an aggregate dollar amount of fees collected is exceeded or not. Additionally, should the fees specified in 47CSR32 Table 1 need to be updated again in the future, a specified dollar amount "fee cap" in 22-1-15 could create another legislative inconsistency.
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.
