FISCAL NOTE

	FY 2007	FY 2008	FY 2009
NON-ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
Anticipated Revenue Increase:
LOCAL SOURCES FUND	8,000	8,000	8,000

Source of Revenue Increase:

Civil penalties assessed and collected for violations of W.S. 35-9-101 thru W.S. 35-9-130.

Assumptions:

Unless violations are repeated or especially dangerous to public safety it is assumed minimal penalties would be assessed.  The assumption for each is based upon the following:  Five cases of flagrant/dangerous violations at $1000/ea=$5000.  Repeat violations of less life threatening nature 30/yr x $100/ea=$3000. Total revenue increase with these assumptions would be approximately $8000.  The Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety is also making these assumptions knowing there are currently more violations each year than has been accounted for above but expect a deterrent affect to lessen the frequency.

The fiscal impact to the judicial system is indeterminable due to an unknown number of cases.
