FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator, Department of Economic Development, Department of Social Services, and Department of Natural Resources assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



Officials from the Office of Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission stated the filing fee authorized by the proposed legislation would be determined after a review of cases filed and the costs related to filing these cases, taking into consideration any comments received during the rule making process. They were unable to predict the number of cases of this type that will be filed.

Officials from the Office of the Attorney General assume any costs associated with the proposed legislation could be absorbed by their agency.

DESCRIPTION



The proposed legislation changes several measures regarding the Administrative Hearing Commission (AHC). The act would require the Department of Social Services to provide notice of a final judgment. The AHC would also be given authority to set reasonable fees in certain cases (motor vehicle and motorcycle franchises). It also removes procedural language found

unconstitutional.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
