FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Department of Economic Development- Public Service Commission officials assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact to their Commission.



City of Springfield- City Attorney's Office stated that the yearly fiscal impact to the City of Springfield, if the City were not allowed to require that the cities of Strafford, Willard, and Battlefield collect and pay to the City of Springfield the Sewer Connection Fees for their new sewer customers, would have a loss of $80,000 each year.



Oversight assumes if there would be any Constitutional Charter City that is imposing a surcharge or fee for the benefit of another political subdivision, without statutory authority, then that political subdivision would realize a loss of fees.

DESCRIPTION



This substitute prohibits cities from imposing a surcharge or other fee for the benefit of a political subdivision other than the political subdivision itself.

The substitute also removes the August 28, 2002, sunset date for provisions that prohibit political subdivisions from providing or selling telecommunication services that require a certificate of

service authority from the Public Service Commission. Municipal utilities are allowed to offer wholesale telecommunication services within their service boundaries on a nondiscriminatory,

competitively neutral basis at a price that covers costs.

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