Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This measure will have some impact on costs and revenues of state government. The WVDA would need a FTE to conduct inspections and revenue from permits will not be sufficient to cover the costs of implementation. A highly trained individual would need to conduct the field inspections.

There are not any other significant revenue streams in the legislation.



Memorandum


Title 61 Series 39 Seed Certification Program currently includes most of this legislation. Section 15 has Standards for Handling Experimental Lines which WVDA believes would cover this legislation.
